Victoria and Albert Museum’s Post

When you're brainstorming about your next exhibit, do you consider how institutional branding will fit in? Incorporating branding into exhibits isn't just about logos—it's about creating a seamless journey for visitors and a strong identity for the museum. Cohesive branding introduces the character of the site, pairing each exhibit's curated narrative with the institution's identity. By infusing each aspect of the museum experience with brand elements, we cultivate deeper connections with our audience, establishing a museum's role as a community resource and known entity. When we design, we weave the threads of branding into the experience, crafting immersive journeys that leave a lasting impression about both the exhibit content and the identity of the museum. #museumbranding #brandingdesign #museumdesign #exhibitdesign #exhibitiondesign #exhibitdesigners #exhibitiondesigners 📷 Great Bridge Battlefield Museum Client: Great Bridge Battlefield & Waterways History Foundation

For arts organizations looking to increase their relevance and move closer to long-term sustainability, building community can be a powerful approach. In The Art of Community, Charles Vogl outlines seven building blocks that can help create a powerful emotional 😍 connection between consumer and brand. 🔍 Here's an exploration of these principles through the lens of the arts sector. https://lnkd.in/esz4xYM5 #artsadministration #artsmarketing #audiencedevelopment

When you hear the word museum... I bet you think of stately buildings where you JUST look to learn. Even the emoji selection for museums reflect this! 🖼 🏛 Museums have played it safe for too long with the same ol' exhibits behind glass. But that observation only approach is kind of boring. It's time to ditch the beaten path and get creative with how we engage visitors: 1. Immersive story worlds that make you feel transported, breaking down the barrier between you and the displays. 2. Hands-on maker spaces for visitors to tap into their creativity by crafting their own inspired pieces.  3. Interactive storytelling sessions where you're prompted to share your personal reflections sparked by the artifacts, fostering deep connections and enabling you to weave your own narratives. With innovative twists like these, museums become way more than dusty collections. They spark personal metamorphoses through active participation, human connection, and thought-provoking surprises. Let's turn museums into vital, mind-expanding purposeful playgrounds where visitors craft their own meaningful experiences - not just passive info consumption. You'll walk away personally empowered, emotionally resonant narratives brewing in your mind's eye. The possibilities are endless when we're willing to color outside the lines and let imagination bloom. Who's game to remake the museum experience? Peek Kohl Children's Museum and KOHL EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION who are about ready to open an ART exhibit... that has play elements! Love it.

A beautiful story of #learningfromfailure and #growthmindset In the heart of a bustling city lived a passionate young artist named Elena. She dreamed of opening her own art gallery, showcasing not only her creations but also the works of aspiring artists in her community. With great excitement, she invested her savings into a small, charming space and curated a collection she believed would captivate art enthusiasts. To her dismay, the gallery’s grand opening didn’t attract the expected crowd. Sales were disappointing, and Elena found herself questioning her artistic vision. Instead of succumbing to despair, she decided to transform her setback into an opportunity for growth. Elena started engaging with visitors, asking for their feedback and listening to their perspectives. She joined art forums, attended workshops, and connected with successful gallery owners for advice. In this process, she learned that her initial collection, although beautiful, didn’t resonate with the local audience. Undeterred, Elena curated a new exhibition, incorporating elements that reflected the city’s diverse culture and heritage. She also decided to feature live art demonstrations and workshops, turning her gallery into an interactive space for both artists and art enthusiasts. The response was astounding. Visitors were captivated by the interactive experiences and the connection they felt with the artwork. Word spread, and soon, Elena’s gallery became a vibrant hub of creativity, attracting artists and art lovers from far and wide. Elena learned that failure wasn’t a reflection of her talent but an opportunity to adapt and understand her audience better. Her gallery not only thrived but also became a testament to the transformative power of resilience and the willingness to learn. Elena’s story teaches us that setbacks are invitations to #evolve, #adapt, and #embracechange. This story emphasizes the importance of #resilience, #adaptability, and #continuouslearning, showing that failure can lead to unexpected and remarkable transformations when approached with an open mind and a positive attitude. #growthmindset #learningfrommistakes #agility

Museums* don't totally need your money, and that's a problem. Museums don't depend solely on earned revenue (aka ticket sales) to pay the bills, which means it's not always easy for museums to know who they serve and which functions to prioritize.  For example, for a typical art museum 34% is earned revenue the rest is a mix of endowments, philanthropy and government support. A museum like MoMA has $2B in net assets so even at a 7% return they have $140M to play with. This business model isn't bad per se - and it's not Blockbuster :) It does mean that knowing who a museum's primary customers is and what to focus on, is often not so clear cut. Is it the visitor?  Is it the mega-donor? Is it education or public engagement or is it scholarship and stewardship? The model works best when these audiences' interests are aligned, but this is not always the case. Thoughts and feedback are welcome. *museums is a VERY broad term, this doesn't apply to science centers or a variety of other museums. Another worthy topic of conversation #museums #museum #experiencedesign

The most compelling exhibits not only offer insights into the past or information about the world around us — they include a glimpse into the future, inspiration, and takeaway messages that shape the worldview of those who visit. This is a powerful thing — the power to shape solutions for the future. The forward-looking aspect of exhibits is essential in fostering a sense of responsibility and agency among visitors. By prompting reflection on the future implications of the content, exhibits can empower individuals to contribute positively to their communities and the world at large. Through thoughtful presentation and incorporation of takeaway messages, our collaborative approach ensures that exhibits not only inform and engage but also inspire action and change for a better tomorrow. Early on in the exhibit design process, we encourage our clients to consider the takeaway messages they want visitors to walk away with. How will your next exhibit shape the future? 📷 Conceptual designs we created for the National Building Museum #designingforsolutions #exhibitdesign #exhibitiondesign #exhibitiondesigners #exhibitdesigners

What we hear from customers in the Digital Asset Management (DAM) space 👇: * Semantic tagging of assets is important for workflow routing and search discovery. * AI-assisted tagging could be a big time saver, but the vocabulary of image tagging models doesn't match what they care about. They don't care that there is a "sedan" with "wheels" in an image. The care whether it's a Camry or a Corolla. They want custom AI tagging. * Until they found Nyckel, they thought training custom tagging models would require an AI team and tons of data, time, and $$. I'll be speaking at DAM NYC next week and demo-ing how you can train image tagging models customized to your domain in 60 seconds, with a handful of data, and without any AI expertise.
