The MUN receives an international award for design and innovation in museum stores.

The Museo Universidad de Navarra has been awarded with the award to the design innovative and sustainable for museum stores and cultural institutions, organized by the congress international CM Málaga Culture & Museums, held on June 17 and 18 in the Andalusian city. It is a call that seeks to value the talent of designers, illustrators and craftsmen who make products for these stores, as well as their ability to attract new audiences.

MUN has achieved recognition with the proposal "A_Tempo". It is a small box that translates the colors of the paintings into musical notes. Its author is Elena Brotons, a former student of Degree at design of the University of Navarra. The student started this idea during the courses Taller de design VI and laboratory de Creación, with the help of professors from School of Architecture Santos Bregaña, María Villanueva, Amaia Zuazua and María Duro, and at partnership with the MUN; and later, she culminated it in her final year work Degree . I wanted to enhance the viewer's aesthetic experience, offering a new perspective on art," she explains. The big goal I had in mind was to design new forms of creation and enjoyment, generating bridges of communication between the spectator and the work, beyond the traditional ways of interacting with it. I intended to create a simple system, both in its understanding and its application internship, so that any Username can expand its interpretation and have a more impactful experience".

María Villanueva, tutor of the TFG, points out how important it is for a university project to take shape "in the real world", in this case, through the store of the University of Navarra Museum. This "demonstrates the students' ability to convert theoretical concepts into practical and tangible solutions," she says. And he talks about how the materialization of these processes "underscores the importance of Education as an engine of innovation and development, allowing students to actively contribute to their field of study and to the community at large."

With synergies like this, the MUN is positioned as a center of reference letter at the service of the Education, as a space for creation thanks to which the ideas of university students do not remain in the classroom, but have projection to the professional field.
