Museum of Regret aims to express that regret, just like any other emotion, is experienced by almost everyone. The museum encompasses all kinds of regret— from the merely ephemeral to the seemingly indelible. It strives to teach the audience to be open about regret and encourages them to share it with one another by participating in entertaining events and fun exhibitions. It also organizes various campaigns that revolve around the theme of regret. The goal of the museum is to help people acknowledge and come to terms with their regrets.

 

This concept was created as part of the Imaginary Museum project at the Maryland Institute College of Art under the guidance of Ellen Lupton and Jason Matthews Gottlieb. I am extremely thankful to them for their help throughout the course of the project and beyond. I am also thankful to my classmates for their continued feedback and all the lovely people who participated in the video. Lastly, I am thankful to David Crampton and Steven Sfiligoj for letting me use their images in the project.
