Overview
The Polklore Micro-Museum celebrates the story of the Polk Dairy and its neighbors and engages the public in a conversation about cultural preservation. The museum employs four approaches: neighbor co-creation, art assemblage, immersive experiences through technology, and a residency experience for artists and entrepreneurs.
Stories are the heart of Polklore. Neighbors chose the stories and artifacts to be preserved. They then worked with a diverse team of artists to collect oral histories, assemble artifacts into an art installation, develop audio and video experiences, and leverage augmented reality technology. Long-term stakeholders, new residents, and visitors are all invited to engage in the neighborhood’s story.
Tours are by appointment only during the museum’s pilot phase.
