The Museum of Contemporary Ideas
Situated on Park Avenue, is the largest organisation of its kind in the world to be dedicated to contemporary ideas and
their research. The museum offers an unrivalled view across the visual and performing
arts, science, architecture, philosophy of science, new technologies, and off-planet
systems. A range of services is available to the physically disadvantaged, sign language
interpretors are available for hearing-impaired visitors, and a sculpture touch tour
(by appointment) has been designed for the visually dysfunctional.
The lecture theatres in the Alice and Abner "Bucky " Cameron theatres 3 and 6 are enhanced
by infra-red amplification systems backedup by terrestrial and off-planet broadcasting
systems.
According to the museum's primary mission statement, "The Museum of Contemporary Ideas
is a bequest to the people of New York thru the
Alice and Abner "Bucky" Cameron Foundation.
It was also their wish that the European centre for the museum locate in Dundee,
Scotland, home of "Bucky" Cameron's grandparents whose wealth from the local jute
industry financed both their son and their grandson's activities in the multi-national
oil and artificial intelligence industries.
