Museosprint ?

From December 5 to 7, 2025, come and create a mediation prototype to showcase exceptional works of art!

Context

For two years, the Musées en Centre-Val de Loire association has been conducting a study of Far Eastern collections, which will give rise to a dedicated cultural season from 2025 to 2027. More than 2,500 works have been identified, some of which will be presented to the public in various museums in the network through exhibitions and displays.

Team and partners

The Musée en Centre Val-de Loire association, in collaboration with Museomix Ile de France, the Musée des Beaux-Arts d'Orléans, which will host the event, and the ESAD d'Orléans, which is lending its FABLAB for prototyping.

The aim of Museosprint? :

Reinventing more inclusive mediation tools, gaining a better understanding of audience diversity and working in harmony with other professions.

  • Inviting the public to discover these rich, little-known collections

  • Behind-the-scenes previews of future exhibitions

Who is this event for?

FOR EVERYBODY! From 18 years old.
We're looking for 7 different profiles to form multidisciplinary teams to create THE innovative mediation device for a major regional project

Profiles sought:
🖌 Graphics: You draw, engrave, sculpt - in short, you give shape to your team's idea.
📖 Content expertise: Need expertise? We've come to you. You'll quickly become an expert on the museum's subjects!
🛠 Manufacturing: You like to tinker, nail, screw, drill, paint... You're the one who gives shape to the prototype.
💁‍♀️ Mediation: You'll be on the front line with the public; transmission is your passion.
💻 Programming: You're the digital head of the team. The motherboard. The only bridge to a working digital prototype!
🤝 Facilitation: You're the link between the different team members.
📢 Communication: Your role, beyond designing the prototype with the others, is to give it an echo outside the museum walls.
