Description

The children's museum of indianapolis will mark its centennial in 2025 with an exhibition that tells stories about the ways in which people of all backgrounds, beliefs, and abilities from all across the world have contributed to the museum, community, and society. Project activities will include selecting objects with final conceptualization and input gathered from the community, consulting with advisors on storyline development, cleaning and stabilizing objects for display, producing complementary programs, and conducting a formative and remedial evaluation. The exhibition will elevate underheard voices, celebrate museum and community milestones, and explore the sometimes-difficult stories behind these objects while envisioning the role the museum will play in society over the next century. The project will raise awareness of the importance of collections stewardship, turning visitors into ambassadors who will support centennial campaign efforts to fund collections infrastructure improvements to safeguard these iconic objects for generations to come.
