MuseumsThe city is your gallery.

Jewish Cultural Quarter

Together with the Joods Cultureel Kwartier we built Jewish Amsterdam, which lifts the story of the Jewish city out of the museum and back into the eleven places where it happened, from a department store on the Dam to the Portuguese Synagogue. The museum is one of the eleven, so visitors arrive already halfway in. Seen close to a hundred thousand times in its first forty eight hours.

Museum Sophiahof

Museum Sophiahof and the Indisch Herinneringscentrum asked us to take their subject out into the city. Between The Hague and Indonesia traces a shared history across twelve places, from the museum itself, once a colonial minister's house, to the home where Louis Couperus was born and a palace with a room that was a gift from a colony.

Wereldmuseum Rotterdam

The Wereldmuseum was showing Poetry of the People, and we took the exhibition outside. Our walk returned Rotterdam's own poetry to the streets it was written in, from Jules Deelder to Multatuli, and brought over a hundred and fifty extra visitors through the door in its first month.

How it works

  1. You tell us which places matter. We write and record the stories.

  2. Your visitor opens a link on their phone, in the browser they already have.

  3. A map shows your places, in order, with photos.

  4. They walk to one, tap it, and hear it standing there.

  5. It carries your name, your colours and your languages.

  6. You keep adding places, and we keep putting it in front of people.
