The Nomadic Museum was originally a temporary building to display the photography works

of photographer Gregory Colbert with the theme of "dust and snow".

Later, the Nomadic Museum began its global tour

and was transferred to different places for exhibition.

 



 

The Nomadic Museum was originally designed by the famous Japanese architect

Mr. Shimao and Buro happold, and was exhibited in New York City in March 2005.

 




Gregory Colbert said that because he grew up with two big ears,

he was nicknamed elephant when he was a child,

and that's why he and the elephant are inseparable.

 


 

Elephants and people have become the leading roles in his works.

His works leave an impression of quietness, but quiet is full of power,

which makes people sigh the perfect coexistence and

harmonious beauty of nature, which is called silent power.

 





 

The Nomadic Museum, which consists of 148 huge containers,

will move to Los Angeles, Tokyo and Mexico City for exhibitions after its opening in New York.

In different exhibition places, the nomadic art museum will be redesigned in accordance

with the local environment and the evolution of the art connotation of the exhibition itself.

 



 

The entire museum is made of recyclable materials,

such as the roof and pillars are made of paper tubes,

while the curtain hanging from the interior ceiling is

made of pressed paper made of tea from millions of tea bags.

 


 

These practices have been praised by the UN secretary general, Mr. Ban Ki Moon,

who believes that the use of unorthodox building materials is a good new concept.

 



 

200 1-meter wide and 3-meter-long giant photos hang

in the mobile exhibition hall, like miniature movie screens.
