Just like a circus, Matali Crasset was called to designed the temporary structure for MuMo, a mobile museum for kids that brings contemporary art to rural areas.

MuMo is a mobile contemporary art museum for children, initiated in 2011 by Ingrid Brochard. This year’s edition, with the contribution of Matali Crasset, grew bigger to pursue its educational artistic and cultural mission nationwide, especially in French rural and suburban areas.

MuMo is a lorry that arrives in a village and brings an altered reality, just like a circus. Imagined as an open sharing place for a more intimate approach to contemporary art, the new version of the MuMo shelters a modular show space and a projection room for broadcasting the collections of the “Regional contemporary art funds” (Frac).

The lorry is first of all seen as a friendly space to share. These red shelters on the one side, equipped with tables and benches, invite visitors to have a sit and gather for some moments of friendliness. They also welcome workshops, while on the other side the same wings unveil small show spaces dedicated to the children’s accomplishments after their visit. The inside is visible through a large glass opening where artists’ videos can be projected, and a bay window to view works on show inside. The 40 sqm space is of dominant white, but the presence of wood warms it up. It is organised in two parts: an exhibition space marked by wooden elements and an auditorium recognisable by its red colour.
