Little Museum,
Big Dreams!

An educational time machine in Hong Kong: hundreds of meaningful objects, each telling a story, together telling a remarkable one about where we come from and where we could go.

BOOPY · ISS · 2021
Boopy is a cosmonaut, an eco-detective, and an inspirational leader. This extraordinary orange sparrow is a symbol of Peace, hope, and strength for children around the world. Boopy amazingly went to the International Space Station in 2021 as a symbol of Peace and Humanity, and also went 2,000 metres down to the Tonga Trench. In the past 20 years, Boopy has been both the face of the Eco-Sys Action Foundation (travelling the world to help fantastic projects involving children, women and wildlife conservation) and the mascot of The Little Museum of the World, educating the younger generation about the challenges facing our Planet while explaining where we come from.

Christian Pilard is the founder of the Eco-Sys Action Foundation and The Little Museum of the World. He has brought a mix of all his passions into the museum. From drawing maps of the world in diaries during his childhood, through his many travels around the globe and his craziest dreams, this museum has been developing in his mind, consciously and mostly subconsciously, for half a century. It is now a life project: the sum of all his thinking for a better world, his love for justice, and his refusal to take things for granted.

Fascinated by the world of children, amazed by wildlife, curious about other cultures, convinced that poverty is often the common denominator to many problems, and in love with the beauty of the Planet, Christian wishes to share a simple story which everyone can understand, while helping people build Peace and support meaningful projects, in a world that lacks simplicity.

Keep Dreaming!

The museum

A time machine,
for building Peace.

The Little Museum of the World is a unique educational time machine in Hong Kong that takes visitors on a mind-blowing journey through the history of our Planet. It offers a distinct and emotionally resonant experience focused on Humanity and Respect, with hundreds of meaningful objects each telling a specific story. Combined, these often-poignant artifacts give us the ingredients for a more peaceful and sustainable future.

This award-winning museum regularly takes part in high-profile exhibitions: “The Jules Verne Exhibition” at HK Central Library, “Eadweard Muybridge” at the HK Arts Centre, and “The Little Prince and the Pilot” at the University Museum and Art Gallery, among others.
