A museum that comes to you instead of you going to one.
Main intent of this project is to reach out to a huge population, educate them about coastal issues, spread awareness through architecture and design with the help of a storyline and urge people to act for a better Earth.
Educational outreach to all classes and groups of people.
Spread awareness and educate the locals about the coastal issues.
Experience life at sea.
Make an impact on the local coastal communities.
Revive the abandoned port.
Unique job opportunities for the locals.
Gain knowledge on different sea animals, coral reefs and other marine creatures.
One part of the museum serves as a Memorial giving meaning to the area/site.
The ship carrying the containers travels along the coastline of India and stations itself at the ports of the cities for a given time span. The visitors travel through the museum on land into the ship thus experiencing the past, present and future along with other recreational activities.
The containers (mobile museums) from the ship are taken out and transported to different parts of the city to poverty driven areas, thus acting as an educational outreach.
