Living Proof! A playful and engaging way to learn in Museon

Living Proof! is the result of a (cum laude) graduation project by Niels van Hamersveld with Museon and IN10/DOOR. It is an installation for making use of unused class rooms in the museum. Children go through a process of getting an assignment in which they act as if they are scientific investigator, formulating hypotheses, looking for evidence, and bringing the evidence to live at the end. Here is an animation explaining Niels’ design.

Through this design, the museum makes optimal use of its rooms, and children learn about the artefacts displayed in the room, as well as about doing scientific research in a playful and engaging way. This research is part of the research theme ‘Lasting Encounters’ of the Connected Everyday Lab.
