Museum of Open “Secret“

Barbican means fortified Gate in old French. It is present as an estate exclusive and safe. Barbican was established during the time that the political consensus was very different from now. It was a council housing, not for the vulnerable group but for the middle-class commuters who work in London city. It is impenetrable and confusing by incorporating an un-intuitive threshold, imposing walls and hidden entrances. Barbican is not just a housing estate, it is a sheltered sanctuary, a fortress within the London city.

Barbican, as a result of radical metropolitan thinking, was never meant to be a community for anyone. It was aimed at middle-class professionals at that time. It is present as an estate exclusive and safe.

Barbican, as an articulation of economic wealth. It is also a stage set that always caters to its excellence. The flower here is perfectly in bloom on a particular date. And the day they appear to be dying, they must be taken away. This museum aims to display the fragments of these enjoyable London apartments and the servants behind these well-served spaces.
