Otherlands: Museum for a Museum is a site-specific exhibition produced by Year 1 BSc students at the Bartlett School of Architecture.
By creatively responding to the collections in the Petrie Museum, the installations take inspiration from 12 ancient Egyptian deities and interrogate themes such as micro-environments, the afterlife, use, immateriality and display.
In this two-day showcase, the students aspire to transform the internal spaces of the Petrie Museum by creating a series of 'other lands' to temporarily insert a museum within a museum. The result is a spectacular metamorphosis of space, inspired by the past and imaginatively conceiving a common future.
