Exploratorium

The Exploratorium will develop a model set of 50 exhibit biographies representing a broad collection of material related to each exhibit that is engaging, useful, and easily accessible for audiences. Exhibit biographies will include information ranging from exhibit design documents, photographs, and videos to related classroom activities and blog posts. The project will develop, test, and implement the process for gathering exhibit assets, standardize essential data fields, build an online web portal, and document the work. This sample of 50 will serve as a test with the goal of eventually adding all of the exhibits developed over the Exploratorium's history. The result will be a set of rich, broadly available resources that capture the phenomenon itself, the exhibit design and pedagogy, and documentation for use by the public.
