Quotes
“In its most basic sense, a museum is a collection of objects, art, or ideas from the past, present, or future.”
“Textures and patina are very important to us.”
“When we’re stuck in a design process, we force ourselves to go back to an analogue approach – print it, cut it, shift it, and glue it together.”
“We believe imperfection helps you connect with the work better.”
“During Museum Night, you can move through the past, present and future.”
