#WikiWEEX Did you know who was the first to introduce the topic of accessibility in the museum world? In the 1920s, John Cotton Dana was the director of the Newark Museum, a prominent museum just outside New York City that remains open today. Today, Dana is remembered as one of the first to develop significant reflections on accessibility and the sense of community that every museum should aim to promote. Among his famous quotes: “A department store, easily accessible and open at all hours, perhaps tells us more than a good art museum and all the museums we have created so far.” If you are interested in learning more about accessibility in exhibition design, don't miss our dedicated training program. The first course will focus on exhibition design, and registration is now open. 📍 Course: Progettare per le persone: allestimenti accessibili 14-16 Febraury 2025 🔗 [LINK] https://lnkd.in/dDdUCCTd - #WeExhibit #AskWeex #ArtIsInTheProcess #WEEXFormazione #TrainingSeries #Formazione #ExhibitionDesign #ExhibitDesign

#CaseStudy Have you ever wondered what's behind a museum renovation? We're excited to share our first Case Study on the project we've been working on since 2021 for the Rovereto Civic Museum Foundation (Fondazione Museo Civico di Rovereto). Our contribution has included staff training, a gradual reinstallation of all museum galleries, and the development of a new interpretive apparatus. It has involved various roles and skills from the We Exhibit team in the development of: ~ Exhibition Design: reinstallation of the museum's exhibition spaces and renovation of the interpretive apparatus to improve accessibility and engagement; ~ Workshops: training staff on accessibility, communication, interpretation, and evaluation issues to facilitate smoother comparison and exchange during the redesign phase.

A New Era for Museums? Is it? The British Museum's new director, Nicholas Cullinan, has announced the most ambitious transformation of any museum in the world. After a series of security controversies and criticism over funding sources, this $1.3 billion overhaul aims to digitize the museum's entire collection and renovate its vast galleries. But beyond the headlines, this change reflects a broader conversation in the museum world. How can institutions like the British Museum not only protect their collections but also respect the histories and civilizations they represent? As museums become more tech-savvy, they must also face the ethical questions surrounding their collections. Is it going to be done? What are your thoughts on the future of museums? Are we heading toward a more responsible and inclusive museum experience? Let’s discuss!

A project for the history books! 📖 We were extremely proud to work with The British Museum to deliver a high-quality modular building at its iconic home in London. The two-storey, seven-bay building will enable the museum to push ahead with its Energy Centre Programme, focused on decarbonising its estate. 🌎 This project presented unique challenges as we navigated a historic site and ensured the building was delivered without negatively impacting on its surroundings. A fantastic team effort from all involved, with thanks to King Lifting for its support, along with all the team at The British Museum. #MakeItModular #ModularConstruction #BritishMuseum #HistoricSite #MMC #OffsiteConstruction #IntegraBuildings
