Cultural village project accompanying the Artexplorer museum boat
A space for exchange and sharing, carried by the generosity of culture, the village is envisioned as a living organism — a migratory entity reaching out to all.
It acts as an extension, a bridge from the moored boat, serving as its interface with the public, its host city, and the surrounding environment.

Designed by Loci Anima for the Art Explora Foundation, the Artexplorer Station is more than just a vessel: it is a floating museum, a traveling space for culture and exchange, created to sail from port to port and meet diverse audiences.
Stretching nearly 46 meters in length, this futuristic catamaran blends cutting-edge technology, maritime elegance, and cultural ambition. Its architecture flows with the water while offering an immersive and adaptable interior scenography tailored to each stop and exhibition. A true mobile laboratory for artistic outreach, the station hosts digital exhibitions, workshops, screenings, talks, and live performances.
The design follows an environmentally responsible approach: hybrid propulsion, sustainable materials, and energy optimization. Every detail reflects a commitment to accessible, mobile art that resonates with contemporary challenges.
With the Artexplorer Station, Loci Anima charts a new cultural frontier—an architecture that travels, includes, and always looks toward the horizon.
