Have you ever wondered what might come about if you did something completely different from what you do now?
The Nine Lives Museum is an exhibition about creative work and displays works which the participating artists would not otherwise have created. Visitors to this exhibition can experience a flower shop, collections, gesture, sound, light, painting and The Phantom as well as stories, music and ritualistic objects. Alongside these works, sources for this work and the material gathered throughout the working process are also on display. The Nine Lives Museum organises, archives and presents this material according to its own logic.
An integral part of the exhibition is The Nine Lives Museum Guidebook.
The Nine Lives Museum in now open online and can be visited here.
