The Creative Museum Project (and its follow-up, Making Museum) seek to explore and provide information on the connections between cultural organizations and their communities by capitalizing on the emergence of new and democratizing digital technologies. Seeking to extend the language of engagement through the medium of accessible, customizable, and personal digital experiences, the projects see museums as dynamic learning environments in which staff and visitors can use accessible digital tools to explore collections in new and creative ways.
