Taking part in the project

An international
cultural alliance.

We invite institutions from different countries to help create the museum. Each can make a specific contribution: research, educational experience, resources for an exhibition or a place to develop the project.

The network is in development. Collaborations will be announced once agreements are in place with participating institutions.

Research and museum cooperation

Research and develop content

Universities, museums and heritage specialists can propose research, review the narrative or develop an exhibition. The first step is to agree a subject, a team and the materials to be shared.

Cultural and educational programmes

Bring learning to more people

Public institutions, schools and cultural organisations can help design and trial activities. We propose starting with an experience about water and agreements, with a defined group and specific learning aims.

Patronage and institutional development

Support a stage of the project

Foundations, businesses, families and patrons can support research, a prototype or the museum’s development. Each contribution will have an agreed purpose and reporting arrangements, preserving scholarly independence.

Governments and cities

Give the museum a home

Work with the founders to assess a location, its relationship with the city and the resources needed to build it and sustain its cultural and educational work.

The Founding Circle

The Founding Circle invites people and institutions to support the museum’s first steps. Participation will be agreed individually, according to each contribution and the stage of the project it helps develop.

Beginning with water

The first proposal is to try an irrigation table with a school group. Moving the water, observing which fields receive less and agreeing a distribution will allow the group to explore a question that is both historical and everyday. The session will help improve the experience before it becomes part of a permanent gallery.

1. Prepare the question

   Agree with the school what the group will learn and what it needs to participate.

2. Design the experience

   Bring the team together, review historical sources and prepare the prototype, materials and budget.

3. Try it and learn

   Run the session once resources and permissions are approved. Listen to pupils and teachers, review the results and decide what to improve.

A proposal coordinated by the founders. The education lead, budget and timetable are to be agreed with the participating institution. Registration is not yet open.
