Parlor of Ideas
A Whimsical Philosophy Museum + Discussion Space in SF
A place where curiosity is celebrated as the highest civic virtue
We want to make philosophical inquiry accessible, communal, and alive, for everyone.
Help us create it in SF!
We want to bring philosophical thought experiments to life through hands-on interactive exhibits, perceptual illusions, and immersive installations, with a special focus on the nature of mind, consciousness, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, epistemology, and ethics. We want to combine this museum experience with a curated library, welcoming discussion spaces, a tea/snack counter, and a gift shop stocked with logic puzzles, books, and illusion art.
If you would like to see such a place exist in San Francisco, please fill out our brief survey.
If you’d like to brainstorm with us or get involved in creating this space, please email us here!
