This pocket guide is your ticket to endlessly customizable and highly rewarding museum experiences, whether a day-long immersion or a meaningful visit in the span of a lunch break!
From artist and professional museum spatial designer Rawaan Alkhatib, Hello, Museum is equal parts inspiring and instructional for museumgoers seeking new and deeper experiences with public exhibits. Overflowing with interviews, quotes and testimonials, whimsical illustrations and doodles, and activities to infuse your next trip with different perspectives and ideas, this book has something to intrigue every type of museumgoer.
Chock-full of bright artwork and unique hand-lettering, this one-of-a-kind guide invites you to be curious and cultured, and to visit museums of all kinds—from the Metropolitan Museum of Art to the Bonnie and Clyde Museum. Exercises to elevate your experience are peppered throughout: Choose a color and let it guide you from room to room, have a friend build you a playlist to accompany your visit, or ignore labels on objects to imagine their history for yourself. In addition to unconventional tips and tricks, you'll find:
- Dispatches from The Museum of Stones
- Interviews with Paleoartists
- Instructions for curating your own curiosity cabinet
- A list of every time the Mona Lisa has been stolen
- Thoughts on the best souvenirs to purchase at the gift shop
- And much more!
Slip this book of inspirations into your bag or back pocket to open your heart and mind to the many ways to visit a museum and exhibits. Stay for hours or just pop in to say, “Hello, museum!” Above all, take time for yourself to feel connected, enlivened, and inspired.
