Seeking to expand engagement both on- and offline, this venerable institution reached out for a full website re-imagination. Our team helped identify key business goals and chart a clear path to clarifying its communication, reaching a younger demographic, increasing event awareness and attendance, and inviting exploration of its many offerings.

From collections and exhibitions to education and events, we produced a dynamic, cohesive, and scalable experience across screens.

Section 1.One website, two disparate audiences.

By transforming the website into a discovery engine, we captured two very different audiences – the museum-going public and the academic researchers. A blend of concise text, relevant information, intelligent content associations, and boldly visual storytelling streamlined the user experience to emphasize emotional connection and organic exploration.

Nearly 30% of web browsing occurs on smartphones and desktop parity is on the horizon.

Whether on phone, tablet, or desktop, the site keeps visitors oriented and presents both art and information beautifully.
