Musée Légitime

Every artist in the collection is invited to contribute a piece small or immaterial enough that it can fit inside one of the institution's hats while it is worn by the artist who carries the museum. In different moments, he does a selection of pieces, tucks them inside the hat, and goes for a walk while wearing the museum. If the moment arises, he takes the hat off and presents the pieces in the collection, telling their stories and those of the authors, one by one. The weight of each artwork rests directly on the carrier's skull, which is why weight is an important feature of this museum. At the moment, the collection includes 211 works by different artists, presented across 23 museum buildings (hats). In this section you can learn more about the stories of each one of them:
