About Poppi
A museum that retells the story of drugs
Drugs have the power to divide societies and people. They are evil, pleasurable, wonderful, illegal, criminal, sensational, destructive, spiritual and many other things, depending on whom you ask. Poppi collects all these insights and retells the story about drugs.
Sounds like something you could devote a museum to!
What we do
Experiencing and learning
Poppi’s dynamic exhibitions blend facts with fun, creating an immersive and interactive experience where diverse audiences unite to explore the intriguing topic of drugs.
We aim to break taboos and stigmas, to educate and inform, and to stimulate an evidence-based public debate on drugs. We organize:
- immersive artistic exhibitions,
- photo exhibitions,
- digital tours,
- debates.
What we don’t do
We certainly DO NOT promote or sell drugs. Poppi promotes education and informed discussion about drugs, and not encourages use. We accept that drugs are a big part of our society and believe that knowledge and open debate can reduce harm associated with them – both on the individual, and political level.
OPENing the museum
Poppi is working towards opening a permanent exhibition space in 2028. We are gradually realizing this dream by designing art installations, photo exhibitions, events and debates. Each one a bit bigger, better and bolder.
Poppi is an experiential educational ‘start-up’ museum dedicated to fostering open conversations about drugs and their societal impact.
