WELCOME
Perched alongside Knoxville’s chestnut ridge sits the Museum of Infinite Outcomes, a museum of conservation.
To conserve something is to preserve it with care.
In ecology, conservation is used to preserve biodiversity. In physics, the law of conservation of energy illustrates that no energy can be created or destroyed, that it can only change forms. At the museum, we celebrate these ever changing forms and the underlying continuum from which all forms abound. As humans we rely on the ground to stand, water to drink, air to fill our lungs and empty space to grow into. We belong to an ecosystem where everyone and everything is essential.
The Museum seeks to foster material relationships, because these relationships are not optional.
As an open-air museum, our collection meanders through sun-filled gardens, collaborating with the outside world to demonstrate that the things in our reality can only exist in terms of relationships. Located at 2345 Dodson Ave in the Parkridge neighborhood of Knoxville, Tennessee, the Museum features a Lithographic Publishing House, the Library of Infinite Outcomes, and a collection of seasonal and rotating exhibitions.
