Class: LIS 60700 – Foundations of Museum Studies
Annotation:
This presentation explores a museum’s history, accessibility practices, interpretive strategies, and civic role. It includes observations on how visitors engage with exhibits and how the institution communicates its values to the public.
I found that completing this project helped me see how museums function as public facing information institutions. I wanted to show that I can evaluate institutional design, visitor experience, and community connection.
