Let’s build a better world, together.
THIS EXHIBITION IS TRAVELING AND NOT AT MoPOP
Packed full of immersive activities, photo ops, arcade play and more.
The immersive exhibition brings the virtual landscape of Minecraft to life through full-scale creatures, scenic backdrops, a day-night lighting cycle, dynamic audio effects, and a gallery score designed for players and non-players of all ages.
Created in partnership with Mojang, the exhibition celebrates the game’s 10th anniversary by exploring how Minecraft has developed into a platform for unlimited creative expression, community-crafting, and inspiration to build a better world outside of the game.
NOT AT MoPOP AS OF APRIL 18, 2021. THIS EXHIBITION IS TRAVELING.
The Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP) has created a new, touring exhibition that celebrates the Minecraft phenomenon and looks at the game’s impact on our culture and the world. The exhibition is geared toward players and non-players alike.
Minecraft is a platform for creative expression, community creation, and social change. This exhibition highlights the amazing creations and accomplishments achieved with Minecraft, and will inspire visitors to explore, build and create.
KEY MESSAGES
With this exhibition, we’d like visitors to come away with the following:
UNLIMITED CREATIVITY
Minecraft is far more than a game, it’s a platform for creative expression and community building.
DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP
You live in the world you create. Minecraft is about building better worlds, better spaces, better societies.
EQUALITY / DIVERSITY / ACCESS
Minecraft is inclusive and welcomes all. Everyone can do/create something cool.
YOUR STORY
Minecraft is your story. From the development of the game to players’ own experiences, adventures, and creations, Minecraft is fueled by personal narratives and inspiration.
COMMUNITY FOCUS
While Minecraft is created and developed by Mojang, the Minecraft experience is driven by the community.
