The ΕΜΣΤPLAY Museum Kits are another way for the Museum to fulfill its mission by expanding its audience. These are specially designed suitcases that will be moved from place to place through short-term loans. They are aimed at people of all ages—regardless of educational level—who, for various reasons, are unable to visit the ΕΜΣΤ.
The ΕΜΣΤPLAY Museum Kits serve as a tool for experimentation and play with the language of Contemporary Art. They contain information about the Museum, the significance of contemporary art, and present selected works from the ΕΜΣΤ Collection. The Museum Kits also include a series of specially designed activities for experiential understanding of the works and the process of creating a contemporary work of art, with the aim of promoting learning and mental well-being.
By exploring the content of the ΕΜΣΤPLAY Museum Kits, this new audience—despite the physical distance—will be able to get closer to ΕΜΣΤ and feel more familiar with contemporary art. They will also understand the process of artistic creation by making their own creative associations and ultimately seeing reality through a different lens.
