Why a museum about urban commons?
gE.CO museum aims at representing a useful tool to increase the knowledge about the raise of generative commons, to discover local needs and to collect information about good practices.
A Museum to inspire new experiences of regeneration of urban voids.

How it works?
gE.CO museum will be a digital tool, since it will be integrated in the gE.CO map: this way, digital thematic itineraries will be virtual paths over the map, connecting experiences, problems, solutions, and best practices. Moreover, a specific page in the gE.CO website will include all the materials (such as data, infographics, multimedia contents, etc.) and in-depth analysis that will be developed by exploiting the results of the gE.CO survey, and later on of the gE.CO DIY toolkit.
Information, pictures, infographics will be collected in a catalogue and in a travelling exhibit.
