Giving art history a makeover

History of Us

Google Arts & Culture

Google Arts and Culture wanted to raise awareness of Musuem Island with millennials and help them experience 6,000 years of historic art for themselves.

We designed the core concept and content playbook for #Historyofus – a social storytelling campaign that makes relevant connections to the art with very modern social issues including body image, identity, and gender equality – in an original "only Google can do" way.
