Over the past decade, "Museums without Walls" have blossomed as means of extending the museum experience and collections to the greater city and allowing visitors to be co-curators. Museums such as the Museum of London, the Exploratorium, and the Cooper Hewitt have refined ways to place exhibits in non-traditional spaces, often with the help of mobile apps to guide audiences and interpret installations. The Peripatetic Wunderkammer will challenge students to extend a museum collection to real world spaces in San Francisco. Subject matter includes the history of museum collections (and their preceding Wunderkammer), oral histories, and augmenting analogue design with digital overlays. Speakers will include designers from museum media labs, experts in mobile interpretation, landscape historians, and curators of distributed museums. Field work will involve visits to untraditional local museums and significant time exploring and interpreting the neighborhood where the students' final mobile media projects will be experienced.
