The Problem with Museum Visitors
Visitors do not have a proper outlet to appreciate art
“There Are More Museums In The United States Than There Are Starbucks And McDonalds — Combined.”
— The Washington Post
What if we could bridge the gap between observing and doing, and slow down the museum experience to allow time for reflection?
Winsor & Newton and museum Branding
ictus could be customized and branded for each museum using a color palette specific to the museum
Modular System For Quick Circulation
ictus is composed of 4 parts, each can be taken out separately for cleaning and replacement, making it easy for museum staff to prepare ictus for the next vistor
