This New York museum of banned books, inspired by the film A Clockwork Orange, intricately divides its extensive library into themed zones based on film-style ratings, tailored for both adults and children to create a layered, immersive experience. The "Museum of Things" is a standout design element, featuring curated collections of films, rare artifacts, and thought-provoking items that engage visitors’ senses and provoke reflection. The space also embraces the evolving landscape of information consumption by integrating digital curation and interactive displays, offering electronic documents, multimedia records, and augmented reality features. This seamless blend of traditional and digital media fosters a dynamic, engaging environment where visitors can explore controversial narratives, rediscover hidden stories, and reflect on the power of literature and media in shaping society.
