Grandparents, grandchildren, and everyone in between visit the Brown County Neville Public Museum. The museum makes every effort to offer inclusive experiences to all who engage with the exhibits, regardless of abilities or technology access. A wide age and ability range is one challenge.
Visitors speaking various languages and guests with accessibility needs are common at the museum. It is essential to the staff and the foundation board that visitors enjoy exhibits in many ways. When we design for accessibility, we enhance the experience for all.
Here are the predicted outcome we’re designing for–engagement and conversation both in the garden and inside the museum.
Increased engagement–An interactive app designed to entertain and educate visitors of all ages, and a plant and pollinator information kiosk at the garden's edge. These tools will be used to increase engagement in the following ways:
Initial meetings with the Neville Public Museum staff began in the spring of 2022. We walked around the museum and talked about several ideas. We chose the garden project because of its potential environmental impact and the idea that it is a way for visitors to engage and learn even when the museum is closed.
Scan the QR code anytime to start engaging with the Pollination Garden Outdoor Classroom.
