Alec Monopoly launches his latest project, the official MetaMuseum in The Sandbox Metaverse. This comes after the graffiti artist and DJ debuted his ‘Rags to Richie’ NFT collection in July 2022. Now he’s taking on the metaverse with the metaverse giants, who recently launched their Alpha version.
About the MetaMuseum
The MetaMuseum at The Sandbox will act as a meeting place for its fans. Within the LAND area, users can view new art, enjoy parties and live music from Monopoly. Additionally, they will also get access to limited edition NFTs.
About the platform, Monopoly said: “The Sandbox is the leading Web3 metaverse and I’m excited to be working with them. From accessories to avatars to my new foray into electronic music, The Sandbox offers so many opportunities for me to share my creative energy with the community.”
Essentially, it will be interesting to see how Alec Monopoly’s IRL artwork and his NFT artwork will be incorporated into the LAND via the ‘Rags to Richie’ collection. A trailer for ‘Rags to Richie’ can be seen herewhere there is also a mansion – possibly a foretaste of the MetaMuseum itself.
