Claire Marshall, creator of the Museum of Futures project, is an “experiential futurist” who explores how the world might evolve. Influenced by futures studies, she helps individuals and organizations understand change to shape better futures.

Unlike science fiction, which often imagines fantastical worlds, futures studies focus on plausible scenarios grounded in present reality. Marshall’s work speculates on transformations through technology, social shifts, and political change, encouraging people to envision and create hopeful, achievable futures.
