Prototype is a creative playground for daring ideas. It’s the only museum that dares to explore the unknown—testing the boundaries of technology, art, and human interaction in ways most institutions can’t or won’t. Here, visitors become co-creators in shaping the future of museum experiences.

Prototype is located in the heart of Scioto Audubon Metro Park, just off the Scioto Trail. The site features free parking and is steps away from a climbing gym, a bird sanctuary, and Nocterra’s newest brewpub and restaurant.

With construction in full swing and exhibits taking shape, Prototype will open its doors for testing with live visitors in fall 2025. Check back here for updates as the countdown begins.

Prototype is where edgy meets experimental. Designed for adults seeking something extraordinary, its bold and provocative experiences make it a prime destination for date nights, group outings, or anyone craving an unexpected adventure. When the bar is open, tickets will be restricted to 21 and over.
