=The Museum that comes to You=

The Museum of Moving Art is creative device, an idea and physical expression at the centre of a planet-wide non-commercial public art project for international Queer communities and their friends.

In artspeak, it can be understood to be an evolving work of art that is a composite of other works of art. Originally conceived as "street art with theatrical tendencies", it can be played as a game, or it can be approached more seriously - simply as a rather unique form of arts museum.

=MOMA is what you make It= As a game, MOMA is played face to face at pop-up galleries in public and community spaces and also online here at wikimoma.art and in digital video games.

 * to explore the intersections between reality, fantasy and the digital world
 * to create a straight-friendly Queer space in the online gaming world and at MOMA live events
 * to .....

=Foundation= The Museum was founded in the Australian winter of 2021 by David Freedom Rose. Visit MOMA's Story Garden to find out how this beautiful space came to be. (Please be aware this is a work-in-progress. The website is being developed live.)'
