What if Wikipedia were a museum you could walk through? 🖼️

"The Museum of All Things" is an immersive virtual experience built from Wikipedia’s open knowledge. It reimagines how we experience information. 🧵⬇️ (1/5)

The project uses open-source tools to bring Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons content to a 3D digital environment.

Each object, image, or room links back to its Wikipedia article. (2/5)

Unlike traditional museums, this digital one has no fixed collection or narrative.

It grows and shifts alongside Wikipedia itself. Every link is alive, every article editable. (3/5)
