American Museum of the Moving Image

The Museum of the Moving Image will reimagine its core exhibition through a planning process that reflects its mission, addresses an evolving understanding of its subject matter, and is culturally and physically inclusive. The current exhibition, first opened in 1988, documents the technologies and crafts behind the commercial U.S. film and television industries. The project team will produce a new, fully accessible exhibition design to reflect best practices and innovations in the field; be more accessible to a broader audience; and provide greater access to the museum's permanent collection. Staff and board members will work with scholars, community liaisons, an accessibility consultant, and an exhibition designer to define a narrative scope and interpretive approach for the new exhibition, and identify associated artifacts, interactive experiences, media clips, and other elements. The preliminary design will incorporate the perspectives and needs of diverse learners to more effectively serve people with disabilities and cultural barriers.
