The Museum of ME!
Museums made with, for and about members of our community.
The Museum of ME!
The Museum of Me is a public realm project that celebrates the lives of our communities resident’s by creating individual day long museums with, for, and about them. It is a fun, personal and meaningful project that positively tells human stories through a collection of their words and objects.
Each morning we host an Opening Ceremony where the Museum Star cuts the red ribbon to their museum, invites family, friends and their community, and enjoys a canapé and drinks reception of their choosing.
With exhibits curated by Vortex Creates and storytelling led by Extraordinary Us, the project is a personal, moving and humourous look into the individuals who make our communities so wonderful.
You are worthy of a museum.
