Exhibition Philosophy
The Curious Kids' Museum's exhibition philosophy is derived from
the mission statement and is inherent in the guidelines to develop
exhibits. These guidelines state:
- Exhibits should be interactive; actively engaging visitors'
interest and encouraging participatory learning.
- Exhibits must convey a better understanding of the principle
through multiple examples of important ideas.
- Exhibits should be self-explanatory and provide immediate
feedback to the user.
- Exhibits should appeal to a wide age range and be accessible
to young children and the handicapped.
- Exhibits should provide unique experiences and make clearly
evident what is happening, dispelling the notion of "magic."
- Exhibits must be designed for constant handling and kept in
working order at all times.
- Exhibits will be designed, whenever possible, so that they
can be dismantled, easily transported and stored for future
use or loan.
- Workshops, promotional materials, signage, and publicity will
be simultaneously developed to support new exhibit topics.
- Exhibits will be continually evaluated, augmented, and improved
to assure visitor appeal.
- The main theme of exhibits will focus on science and technology,
history, culture, and/or human perception.
*Exhibits are always changing with a mix of new displays and
old favorites.
