The Indianapolis Museum of Art will improve its exhibition of contemporary design objects by creating interpretive tools, interactive components, and hands-on activity space to increase engagement with the collection. The exhibition will effectively communicate key design concepts, enhance visitors' understanding of the design process, and increase gallery visitation rates. With feedback from a 2014 evaluation of the newly reinstalled galleries, the museum will use the appeal of the new tools, components and experiential space, to attract and engage younger visitors, families, students, and professionals interested in design arts. The museum will measure the project's success through the number, demographics, and psychographics of audience members served; type of interaction with artworks, interpretive material and activities; time spent in the galleries; and overall satisfaction with the experience.
