Over the last few months, we’ve been running two strands of workshops to develop our prototype processes and software.
Bolstered by insights, suggestions and critical queries from our project partners and invited industry professionals, we’re reaching the last stages of prototype development. We’re nearly ready to see how our prototypes perform in real museums and heritage spaces, and discover how they can give the heritage sector the sensory tools to change museums for everyone.
In preparation for the next stage, we are absolutely thrilled to confirm our first ten Sensational Pilot Museums.
Piloting our Strand A (Collections) prototype are:
Piloting our Strand B (Communications) prototype are:
Piloting both Strands A and B working together are:
- Herefordshire Museum Service
- Keswick Museum
- Shakespeare’s Birthplace Trust
- Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, University of Cambridge
These museums and teams will play a key role in the next stages of the project, using our sensational prototypes to develop multisensory ways of working within their institutions. We’re excited to get started.
We’d also like to thank all the museums who submitted an application to become a pilot museum. We were so pleased to hear about the level of interest and enthusiasm for sensory and equitable access in museums.
