MICRO is a non-profit organization that builds six-foot-tall museums that are installed in public spaces such as in transit hubs, community centers, and hospital waiting rooms.[1][2] Each museum explores a topic through interactive displays, such as holograms, videos, and 3D printed sculptures.

MICRO currently has three museum series in public release: the Smallest Mollusk Museum, the Perpetual Motion Museum, and the Museum of Care.[3][4][5]
