ABOUT OUR DIGITAL MUSEUM
Climate Museum UK may one day have a building you can visit. For now, we work by popping up in places and doing stuff online. Since March 2020, due to Covid-19 our projects have been mainly online, with events in Zoom and some projects using blogs and social media.
Find us on social media on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

SOCIAL CAMPAIGNS
1. Extreme Weather Stories
A growing collection of experiences and stories about extreme weather, which is being worsened by climate breakdown.
2. Everyday Ecocide
In this social collecting project, we highlight and discuss how our everyday thinking and communications are blind to the environment. Join, follow, and use #everydayecocide
3. Stories of Extraction
Our Activist Museum Award has allowed us to enquire into Digital Commons Collecting and the idea of Extractivism. We’re looking into how to put an #EcoLensOnThings – highlighting the climate and ecology stories behind art, history & science collections online.
4. Climate Music
We are growing a collection of music and songs about climate change and the environment. We’ve also held Climate Open Mic nights.
5. Other digital projects
- #TimeToMend, a campaign to encourage people to mend things rather than buy new, during lockdown when shops were closed and people were off work
- #ActsOfTreeKindness, challenges & resources during the Urban Tree Festival
- #DrawingEnergy, our contribution to #ChildrensArtWeek – daily art activities exploring different aspects of energy
- #MyClimateMuseum – during the Big Draw Climate Festival we launch the call to people to create and share their personal climate museums

THEMED COLLECTIONS
We are collecting responsively to an enormous and complex issue, aiming to share resources urgently for learning and inspiration. The biggest collection is on Pinterest, many thousands of visual bookmarks linking through to articles, artworks and tools across the internet.
