Join Cooper Hewitt for an interactive session on Transforming Museum Experience. Participants will explore topics related to the design of a museum experience, thoughts on how and why it should transform, and share ideas for how we might work to bring about the kind of transformation we seek collectively.

The format of the program is made up almost entirely of small group discussions based on prompts generated by an interdisciplinary working group made up of sixteen museum professionals doing progressive work across visitor-experience facing roles. Convened by the Interaction Lab thanks to the generous support of the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, this working group will publish a toolkit in early 2021 that will contain thoughts and ideas on designing transformative museum experiences, useful tools and approaches from our own areas of practice, and tactics to help drive this work forward within institutions.
