The Silent Museum 2018 - now
silentmuseum.org
We are uncertain where or when the Silent Museum was a real world, physical place, if at all. Now, it is a globally present teaching and research resource for understanding pre CPE cultures and belief systems. We are reasonably confident that the Silent Museum was started by a small group of curators, artists and writers just before the Catastrophic Patch Event (CPE), or similar moment of existential crisis.
These first curators felt compelled to work fast without fully understanding what they were doing. They had to catalogue and process vast amounts of material, so they relied heavily on AI and automated systems. They disappeared in a hurry too, leaving the front door open. The Silent Museum is presently to be found at silentmuseum.org It is also, possibly, an abandoned but not inactive building, whereabouts unknown. The last known curator, called TX Broswell, also left fragments of writing and AV presentations, now known as the Broswell journals. Nothing is known of his whereabouts, except that he continues to post occasionally on the Silent Museum site.
The Silent Museum has now become a global presence among the remaining cultural institutions that are still functioning. New accessions continue to be displayed in the permanent collection.
