Conjure the Museum of Your Dreams in The Anything Gallery

If you can imagine it, you can explore it in this virtual museum

Museum simulations belong to an extensive video game genre we have yet to explore. They can be collaborations of digital artists, like “Zium Museum” or “Zium Garden”. They can be Museum parodies like “The Crows Crows Crows Community Museum” or “The Artist is Present” by Pippin Barr. They can be silent but powerful exhibitions like “Neo-Brutalism of Tomorrow”. They even can be endlessly transient AI-generated diorama experiences like “Telephone Paintings” or perception-related phenomenons like “Gallery of Subjective Art”. Perhaps we need to discuss a brand new style: Museumcore, -punk or -wave.

Especially during lockdowns and quarantines, as museums are closed or inaccessible, the urge to get lost in endless halls full of art is uncontrollable. Especially if your bent is to contemplate the art you seek.

“The Gallery of Anything” by Jan Malitschek follows this urge in a simple but genius way.

The approach is straightforward and laconic. You enter the game. You enter the empty museum. You enter the desired topic.
