PLAYABLE MUSEUM AWARD

Re-create the future museum

BRIEF

The museum of the future is in the hands of those who can imagine it, design and execute it. The Museo Marino Marini of Florence calls together creatives and dreamers from all over the world, giving life to an open and accessible collective platform. The open call is a place where outside-of-the-box ideas come together to create a “playable” museum – a place of action and interaction between people, the collections and their spaces. The challenge is to transform the museums into places of cultural production, multipurpose spaces where developers, makers, artists, storytellers, and designers work to blend the past and future, remixing technology and the humanities to create new models. A museum thus becomes a hub of innovation, a primary destination for innovators and dreamers from around the world and an active protagonist in designing the future.
