INFINITE MUSEUM
THE PROJECT
What if you could step into history and explore the heritage of South & East Lincolnshire like never before? To walk through the past, hear the voices of those who lived it, and see familiar places come alive in new and unexpected ways? That’s exactly what the Infinite Museum sets out to do.
MBD has teamed up with the South & East Lincolnshire Councils Partnership’s NPO Programme Story Tellers to launch this innovative co-created project that uses VR to bring historical artefacts and local stories to life, making them accessible to a wider audience in an engaging and immersive way.
What’s inside the Infinite Museum?
At its core, the Infinite Museum is a multi-user VR experience designed for groups of 1–4 people. Unlike traditional VR installations, which can feel isolating, this one invites participants to explore together - to interact, share moments, and spark conversations as they go.
You and your group step into a virtual lift that becomes your gateway to a series of themed floors - each one unlocking a different story from Lincolnshire’s past. These stories come to life through art, animation, poetry, and sound, offering a deeply sensory journey through place, memory, and imagination.
Each floor of the Infinite Museum offers a completely different experience. Two were created by MBD’s team of immersive storytelling experts; the other two were co-designed with local artists and young people through a series of workshops and creative residencies - ensuring that the stories told reflect a wide range of perspectives and lived experiences.
What makes Infinite Museum truly special is how deeply rooted it is in the local community. From concept to creation, this project was shaped by the voices, ideas, and imaginations of artists, young people, and residents across the region. It’s not just for the community - it’s by the community.
