The artefacts of the museum come around! Currently until 3 March, some of them are on show in Boise, Idaho, US. More about the founders, the concept and the touring exhibitions at the recently published interview on Boise State Public Radio.

On Valentine's Day, the 1-month submission period for the upcoming exhibition at contemporary art museum 'Arario' in South Korea starts. Brokenships announces on its website that the donated objects will be displayed at the Arario Museum from 5 May until 25 September 2016.
