Bompas & Parr collaborated with the UCL Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology on 'Curses!' a multi-sensory museum exhibit centered around supernatural happenings. In developing the exhibit, neuroscientists and spiritual practitioners were consulted to delve deeper into why humans are compelled to curse one another.
Bompas & Parr geared the multi-sensory museum exhibit to visitors between the ages of 25 to 35 who are looking for a fun activity to do, possibly with a date. The end of the tour culminates by having one enter a chamber with a cursed object. To rid oneself of the curse, a museum visitor is urged to bring two people back to the exhibition or do a good deed within the next three days and share it to social media.
