Future Museum

  It's 2122; people all live in the metaverse. With the easiest and most wearable product, people can stay in the metaverse for as long as they want. But the real world isn't being abandoned, for a place like a museum that holds human history still takes place in the real world. 

A New Form of Musume


    The Tenement Museum 2122 is not a museum only held in one place. The tenement Museum 2122 is a museum that introduces the tenement around the world in 2022, different environments, different countries, different regions, different cultural backgrounds s, and different historical events. Therefore there are 100 tenements worldwide in other countries and cities; the audience can choose the closest one and visit the place in person.

      Tenement Musuem 2122 in New York


Take New York as an example. The Tenement Museum New York is located in Long Island City. During 2016-2022, LIC is a typical example of an emerging popular community. Many luxury buildings and modern houses are built during 2016-2022, which is very different from older tenements in New York. 

  The museum has its own building, not a big one but in a very futuristic outlook, you can't imagine the inside was full of tenements 100 years ago. There are 5 floors, every floor has 6 rooms; from the second floor to floor 4, it's tenet 2022, 2012, 2002. 6 rooms are different rooms from different areas in New York like Queens, East Village, Downtown Manhattan, Upper east side, China town, and Brooklyn ( not necessary from these places, but they are different and represent the different living environments in New York at that period). 

        How to Interact


The experience of the museum visiting is like visiting a friend's house; every room has its owner, the owner is an AI, and it looks like a person they can actually talk to audiences. Every room is an actual apartment at its time, and it has all the furniture and decoration as it was to be. The AI is created by the neurons of the real owner, so they hold the memories and personality of the actual owner ( or it's their another life form). So there is no caption for any exhibition. The audience only needs to talk to the owner; they will speak to you about what happened in their lives in their time. The owner may even make food for you if they like; everyone's experience will differ. 

        A Globalize Museum

There are 6 empty rooms on the top floor that audiences can visit from other countries and cities. With regular AR devices, you can have a similar experience with on-location visiting, so people can travel to other countries without even leaving the place. 


       A New Way of Museum Learning 


    The whole idea of the museum is to let audiences totally experienced the tenement life 100 years ago. The best way to learn is to experience. In the future, better technology can provide more immersive and authentic virtual experiences to audiences; people also live with these devices. Instead of giving a lot of information to audiences, the museum decided to let the audiences make their own choice to experience and learn what they want.

 I went to the New York Transit Museum; the floor plan I sketched is the exhibition of  New York's Trolleys and Buses. Big Idea  the big idea of this floor is to introduce the development of New York's Buses ( ground public transmit). Mostly, it is like an archive of NY buses, through time and some models for audiences to experience the development.  Narratives the narrative is talking through the time. The left side of the space is the most narrative part of the exhibition. It is the timeline of the development of ground transmit from 1810 to 2000. And there is also the tech development of ground transmit (from trolleys to buses) Content The content is all about the ground transmit of New York in this part; everything here is telling audiences what ground transmit in NY looks like and how it has been upgraded. Artifacts/Interactions. The artifacts there are different size models of buses and trolleys. Also, the space of the place is well decorated with a beaut...

Science Museum Trip Report: American Museum of Natural History

  Your impressions of the look and feel of the whole place. What works, what doesn’t? It is one of the most famous museums in the world. The looby with a beautiful high ceiling set a tone for this great and significant place. I have been here 4years ago, even though nothing really changes, I still enjoy walking around in this place. The museum gives me a classic and historical feeling that it deserves people to visit multiple times. Do you feel welcomed, is the place intimidating or comfortable, what’s the atmosphere? I definitely feel welcomed there, even though some halls are dark, but all the exhibitions are still set up in a very vivid way. Also, I think it is a very child-welcomed museum, so there are a lot of children there, so I feel the whole place is very friendly and dynamic.  Every place has an emotional, social and intellectual gestalt. Do your best to describe it. As a famous museum, this place has already become a culture and landmark; people come here not for s...

  Your impressions of the look and feel of the whole place. What works, what doesn’t? The building of the Musume is a historical building; it gives me a kind of elegant and exclusive feeling. Unlike other museums, the interior design is like a very intimate art salon(or more like a gallery ). I think it matches the purpose of the museum; as a photo museum, they don't need a large space for collections; the mood and the atmosphere is more important. Do you feel welcomed, is the place intimidating or comfortable, what’s the atmosphere? The whole place gives a very high-end feeling. The lighting inside is dark; only works on the wall are lighted up. The atmosphere is kind of like a private art club. I think they do want audiences to have this kind of luxury feeling. Every place has an emotional, social and intellectual gestalt. Do your best to describe it. The emotion is quite Luxury, Exclusive, High-end; maybe it's because of the building? At the same time, it is also trendy beca...
