The Problem we are trying to solve is...
Museums can be boring for kids if we don't get to touch the art and artifacts.
Imagine the frustration for the blind or visually impaired.
Our Solution: We feel that producing replicas and raised relief artworks would enrich our experience, make museums interactive, and help everyone gain insight.
Museums have to preserve the originals and keep them safe behind glass, but 3D printing is cheap enough for replicas to be easily replaced and reproduced.

Our Exhibit at the Glacier Art Museum
Our Exhibit at the Glacier Art Museum
Our podium display features a 3D raised-relief printing of the lithograph "Sundance" by Winold Reiss (1947).
The descriptive tag has been transposed into braille and 3D printed at the top of the podium next to an enlarged high-contrast copy of the text.
To the right of it is a QR code that that brings you to a video that describes the artwork as you interact with the exhibit. Listen to the description below.
