ANDREW STUCK

Andrew Stuck is working on the creation of a museum dedicated to walking.  The mission statement of the Museum of Walking is to showcase ideas, inspirations and ideologies regarding walking.    The museum will be a participatory social enterprise that facilitates a range of initiatives, projects and research.  The breadth and depth of the centre will be correlated to the capacity of invited volunteer curators who share enthusiasm for the promotion of walking through initiative participatory ideas, exhibitions, and outreach programs.
