Museum of Science, Boston

The Museum of Science, Boston will create a customizable digital exhibit platform that can flexibly and inclusively support visitors’ engagement with any topic. Project activities include developing and testing a flexible exhibit infrastructure that prioritizes universal design principles, which can be installed as a standalone exhibit in a museum. The digital platform will be available free of charge, supporting the creation of digital exhibits to respond to of-the-moment topics. More than 20 museum, science center, and zoo professionals from across the United States will act as collaborative partners. The project will benefit the museum field and broader society by expanding the tools available to museums for creating broadly accessible exhibits that support visitor engagement with any topic.
