Museum of Science, Boston

The Museum of Science, Boston will develop an infrastructure to create an environment inclusive of people with disabilities through the universal design of educational experiences. The museum will compile, refine, extend, and more effectively share in-house staff expertise on creating universally designed educational experiences with any of the museum’s staff involved in producing educational experiences for the public. The resources developed through this project will also be used in collaborative exhibit development ventures, such as the development of travelling exhibitions for the Science Museum Exhibit Collaborative. The project’s activities seek to increase museum staff and partners’ awareness and use of best practices for the universal design of educational experiences in the short term, and the development of educational experiences at the museum for the long term.
