Museum

Starting from the multiple layers of history preserved in its cultural and artistic heritage, MAAT advocates a concept of the museum as a catalyzing platform for turning discourse into action and for empowering the public in exercising its power of choice through the articulation of debate, the sharing of positions, and the formulation of knowledge. With the aim of encouraging an open and transformative relationship between cultural institutions and social change, the museum simultaneously seeks to question and celebrate the intellectual ambitions and creative means through which we imagine (with art), inhabit (with architecture), and create (with technology) the world we live in — that is, the ways in which we constantly redefine our collective commitment to the planetary ecosystem to which we belong.
