A '''narrative environment''' is a space, whether physical or [virtual](/source/Virtuality), in which stories can unfold.  A virtual [narrative](/source/narrative) environment might be the narrative framework in which game play can proceed. A physical narrative environment might be an exhibition area within a museum, or a foyer of a retail space, or the public spaces around a building - anywhere in short where stories can be told in space. It is also a term coined by the [Central Saint Martin's College of Art and Design](/source/Central_Saint_Martin's_College_of_Art_and_Design) programme where the first Narrative Environment course was introduced in 2003. It is a full-time, 2 year Masters level course leading to an MA degree.  Originally called in Creative Practice for Narrative Environments, now M.A. for Narrative Environments.
