HangARTs museum, situated in Rotterdam Zuid at the quay of Maashaven, is the new art museum of Rotterdam. Here, the visitors are audience without needing to enter the building. The public space that the museum provides has public art for passers-by to admire. Even if your original purpose of being was not visiting the museum, you get to experience art in the absent mind.

The thesis explores the issue of art not being present in the daily life of the neighbourhood. The proposal resulting from the research aims to attract even the people that are indifferent to the art world, providing small thresholds for the audience to pass to see what the art world can offer. Starting as just a place for leisure, the design then brings the audience to public art and eventually to the exhibitions provided. Ultimately, hangARTs museum is the museum that will lay the base for people to start enjoying art.
