Making AR(t) History




The MET Unframed


For the first time in its history, the Metropolitan Museum of Art had to close its doors. At the same time, Verizon was taking their 5G network nationwide, so we decided to take the museum along with us. With an immersive augmented reality mobile experience, we reopened the virtual doors of The Met, and didn’t just bring the museum to people’s devices—we brought it to life, like they’d never seen it before.

Enter, The Met Unframed

The Met, Like You’ve Never Seen It Before


Twelve never-before-seen curations, designed by The Met. 46 interactive challenges that allow visitors to “un-frame” art and place it in their homes with AR. Exclusive pieces of the experience even come to life on 5G. All built and powered with Verizon technology, illustrating how 5G will enhance and change the future of art and cultural experiences.








An Exhibit Hidden In Plain Sight.


Stay-at-Home, gallery-openings-in-a-box (using The Met’s remnant art crates.) Official museum plaques around the city launched 5G AR-t in the streets. Without having any paid media at our disposal, our clever placements and social outreach garnered earned media and created awareness for the experience.
