22 September 2018

A museum is encouraging people to digitally reconstruct Bristol by offering free Minecraft maps of the city.

We The Curious created the maps for its Minecraft workshops as part of the Festival of What If.

Life science officer Tom Rodgers said: "There was a rollercoaster, a giant rainbow and a person turned College Green into a volcano."

Minecraft is an online video game, but there is no winning or losing. Gamers create digital worlds.

"There was no Metrobus or Arena - maybe this isn't something that 12-year-olds worry about," Mr Rodgers said.

The museum's maps include the city's centre, including the Harbourside and are available for download via the museum's Twitter account.

Mr. Rodgers stated that he had never before held such a digital event before. However, he stated that he was hoping to inspire people to try their hand and provide them with new ideas.
