ABOUT

MISSION &
PHILOSOPHY


Prototype creates genuine human connections for curious adults through innovation in supersensory design, experimentation with emerging media, and fresh takes on bold, thought-provoking subject matter.

Experimental museum without rules or boundaries

Prototype creates genuine human connections for curious adults through innovation in supersensory design, experimentation with emerging media, and fresh takes on bold, thought-provoking subject matter.

A Social Enterprise committed to mission over money

Ticket revenues pay for operating and finance expenses, staffing, and new R&D, not private profits.

An audience of participants, not merely visitors

By actively creating art, sharing ideas, and providing feedback, Prototype patrons actively join the experiment

Highly collaborative and built for dissemination

Prototype is designed to share new insights and technologies within the professional museum and cultural communities.

Built for continual iteration and change

Ongoing version updates in creative design technologies ensure that every Prototype visit is different from the last.

Created in partnership with leading creatives at Roto
