Explore the Tiniest Museums You’ve Ever Seen!
What if there were a vending machine that gave out knowledge instead of soda?
The folks behind the MICRO project are making tiny museums that teach us about the wonders of the world with museums so small they fit almost anywhere. The designers of the MICRO museums don’t wait for people to come to them–instead, they inspire curiosity by putting these big boxes in unexpected places like waiting rooms, airports, and hospitals.
Watch how the tiny museum works!
Why It Matters
You don’t have to be inside a building to explore a new idea or learn something incredible.
Curiosity can be one of the best ways to learn about the world. First, though, we have to find out what there is out there to be curious about!
The world is a big, wonderful, and exciting place and you can find a lot to be curious about if you look carefully!
