The WNDR museum recently opened a branch in Boston’s Downtown Crossing. Take a look at some of the diverse, one-of-a-kind installations WNDR has to offer on its mission to disrupt and transform the traditional museum experience.

1. “The Wisdom Project” - WNDR Studios

Electromagnetic wires are the locks, and their tin cans are the key to this audiovisual symphony.

5. “Flex” - Austin Watson, Pedro Neves

This pressure-reactive flexible fabric bends to the touch. Ignited by computer programming, this exhibition is a tactile exploration.

6. “We Are All Artists” - Brad Keywell

“Who decides who is an ‘artist’?” is the question Keywell poses in this exhibit. Perhaps, for the first time, the answer is all of us.

7. “Color & Light” - WNDR Studios

The change between monochrome and rainbow happens surprisingly fast in this room. Explore colors in an ever-changing dimension.

8. “Let’s Survive Forever” - Yayoi Kusama

{shortcode-0b517dcba060d1a1a4b4f465c1052702087e5e08}

This exhibit is an exploration of reflection. The mirrors, LED lights, and reflective orbs form a mirage that interact in “a form of self-obliteration.”

9. “Fortune” - WNDR Studios

Ask this animatronic oracle to riddle you a fortune, and you may just be rewarded for your curiosity.
