Museums are evolving.
Today, more and more museums are inviting their audience to join the process of learning and discovery. Offering more than spaces for observation and reflection, museums are creating experiences that encourage visitors to interact with the concepts and artifacts on display.
The Museum of Natural History at the University of Michigan embodies this. They tapped us, Lord Cultural Resources, and Taylor Studios to build a suite of new exhibits as they moved into their new home in 2019.
The museum is now part of the Biological Sciences Building, sharing space with student classrooms, labs, and two other research-centric museums.
New exhibits feature microbiology, the evolution of life in Michigan, and even a peek into a working fossil lab. The museum provides a variety of interactive activities for students and the general public, from building hemoglobin out of 3D models to standing in the footprints of a mastodon.
