Goodbye Gallery, Hello City!
No gallery space could ever be big enough to capture the creativity of an entire city. That's why Object is doing away with the concept of a conventional design museum.
We'll let the city be the exhibition space and we'll guide you toward design and its stories as you pound the pavement. Right this moment, we're finding Melbourne's, Sydney's and Brisbane's most exciting designers and their work to present to you in inspiring audio tours. You'll be able to download maps and audio files straight onto your iPod or mp3 player, and we'll tell you where to rest your feet and get lunch, too!
The Melbourne and Sydney Audio Design Museum tours will launch in July, 2010. The Brisbane Audio Design Museum will launch in October, 2010. Visit audiodesignmuseum.com
