the MAS Live tour (Site of the Day - May 31, 2011) — UI design breakdown

The MAS is a new museum in Antwerp. To launch the MAS, we organize a phygital tour, a digital live video tour offered by a physical guide in the museum that you can control online. Sourced from Awwwards. Use this page as a UI breakdown: reverse-engineer hierarchy, color roles, and interaction cues before you remix ideas into your own screens.

• Study how the MAS Live tour separates primary actions from secondary content—note spacing, type scale, and focal contrast. Recognized as Site of the Day - May 31, 2011.
• Extracted palette (#2779A7, #DF6C4F, #9C9C9C): check which hues carry brand vs utility chrome.
• Darkest #2779A7 vs lightest #9C9C9C sits around 1.7:1, which is soft—better for backgrounds than small body copy.
• Ask: what would break first if this layout were a product dashboard—navigation clarity, scan order, or color contrast?
