AI Generated Alternatives | Native Peruvian
The Cavern Display Space is meant to display native Peruvian Art Exhibits to offer guests a true immersion into modern Peruvian culture. In between these exhibits, the space will display Peruvian textile geometric motif statues with information on the tradition of weaving as well as oversized looms for guests to interact with. The following images offer an idea of how this space could be transformed when other exhibits are brought in. These were generated using Midjourney by inputting my render and prompting with the following text “Peruvian museum with woven textiles hanging on the wall, statues in the middle on plinths, people walking around”
