- Abstract
- Museums are increasingly interested in growing their outreach and social presence in their home communities and beyond. Traveling exhibits have long provided a way for museums to connect with diverse and distant audiences outside of their home communities, however many traveling exhibits are designed primarily with peer institutions in mind. There is an opportunity to grow engagement with potential host organizations outside of the typical museum hierarchy and introduce museum content into more facets of our social infrastructure. Locally engaged organizations such as community centers, non-profits, universities, and libraries have rich insights and networks in their home communities and can use traveling exhibitions as a catalyst for developing unique, place-based experiences that enhance the visiting content. By incorporating participatory design strategies and encouraging co-creation with traveling exhibit content, designers can adapt traveling exhibitions to be more impactful and accessible to diverse hosting organizations and their communities.
