OPEN ALL HOURS: Better World Museum's rapid response to COVID-19 was to create a cross-platform museum. Accessible in IOS, PC, PlayStation, Steam, and Oculus using Rec Room. Programs include Museum Social Club, One-Hour Artist in Residence Program, Exhibitions, Yoga in the Museum, and Pizza with Artists for participatory and social community activities.
Visitors are able to visit 24/7 to draw a VR Garden, create with the maker pen, and share #museumselfies. The ultimate purpose is to dispel isolation and feelings of powerlessness to grow more resilient individuals, groups, and communities.
We dissolve isolation and feelings of overwhelming powerlessness… sometimes that looks like Pizza Time at Museum Social Club!
This is the most fun time! During the COVID-10 Pandemic, friends create art and eat pizza together at Museum Social Club
