On Sunday, when we were doing an art meditation in the gallery, we started to talk about how we could improve the space to make it more interactive for visitors. Cami's assignment for the art meditation was to curate a display with the pieces in the gallery that had a theme. This was the inspiration for our ideas later. I started to think about different themes in the galleries and how you could explore a certain throughline on your visit in the museum. My idea was to have a bunch of laminated maps at the front of the gallery, which showed a path to follow, with certain items to see, that all were related through some theme. On the card, there would be several of these paths so visitors could choose what they wanted to see, or what pertained to their interests. Then, at each piece, instead of a single label, there would be a flip-book like thing where each page had a different label, corresponding with the themes of the gallery walk. I think this setup could help visitors, especially young ones, to be able to interact a bit more with the pieces in the museum.
