THE
MUSEUM
OF
IDEAS


Welcome, thinker.

Let's
build
an
exhibit
of the 
future 
through the lens of
our (human)

imagination.


And 
a
dwelling
for curiosities,
creative activations, and a
(human)
point of view.


ps.

We invite
you
to
think.

Turn your
gaze back 
to what is
possible.

In case it 
helps
we have
some
"convivial
tools
"
pens, paper,
postcards,
in the thinker's
shop
.

Glad you're here!

The world needs you, thinker.

The Museum of Ideas exists to create a place to protect and honor human thought and human thinkers. ​We see a world where ideas are embraced as art forms, where people think freely, ask questions with confidence, and seek together to shape our better future through collaborative imagination and curious exploration.​​ The vision derives from our responsibility as a species to capture what is best about us and to live our best human lives. We do this by exploring emerging thought and empowering (human) inventors and dreamers, creators, thinkers, entrepreneurs, and their ideas through our work, our publications, our projects and activations.

Artificial intelligence has arrived but human thought and imagination are very much alive.

 

Human thought is (and will always be) beautiful.

 

It takes the shape of …

Ideas.

Notions.

Views.

Opinions. 

Conceptions.

Conversations.

Deliberations.

Introspections.

Reflections.

Musings.

Ponderings.

 

Above all, it takes time.

A pause.

A slowdown.

 

We confuse our paradigms of efficiency, productivity, and artificiality with life.

 

But these ways to be constrain those who think deeply

and seriously.

 

We will craft and define the next frontier of our lives–our LIFE—first with (collaborative) human thought, and by embracing our human imagination, and our human creativity.

 

The art of the mind deserves a place to shine.

The Museum of Ideas.

I'll meet you where the ideas are,
