Museum of Possibilities is a large scale, interactive art installation inviting the community to share their hopes and dreams for Canberra’s city centre.

For one day only, as part of the 2018 DESIGN Canberra Festival, Montreal-based artists Daily tous les jours will transform City Hill so that people of all ages can have their say about the future of their CBD.

Everyone, is invited to participate in this unique, creative and democratic exercise, or to simply relax and enjoy the spectacle.

Daily tous les jours creates large scale interactive installations driven by collective experiences. The studio is best known for its work in public spaces, where passing crowds are invited to play a critical role in the transformation of their environment. Some of Daily tous les jours’ best known projects include The 21 Balançoires, a series of swings creating music through public cooperation; the Musical Shadows, that reacts to the shadows of passerby with the sounds of singing voices. Earlier this year, their installation Giant Sing Along (a collective outdoor karaoke) was part of Festival 2018 in Gold Coast, celebrating the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games.

City Hill can be accessed as a pedestrian via traffic lights on the corner of Northbourne Avenue and London Circuit, or from traffic lights on the corner of Vernon Circle and Constitution Avenue. The closest car parking is either side of Northbourne Avenue or the Canberra Centre.
