Episode 55: Alice Merry, Museo Wak'a Pop-up Museum
Alice Merry is a co-founder of Museo Wak'a, a pop-up participatory museum delighting communities in Lima, Peru. I spoke with Alice to learn more about Museo Wak'a and how it contributes to lifelong learning in communities.
Alice and co-founder Gustavo Florez Salcedo and team member Rolando Flores Vega launched Museo Wak'a three years ago in a garage after a flood. Since then, they received a grant from the Royal Society of Arts, formed partnerships with museums, and won the hearts of residents.

What has been the Waka's most successful approach to sponsorships?
What's next for this community-oriented museum?
