Description

As the agency reported it.

Using a model that encourages visitors to interact, the exhibition will share the experience of america's jewish community and inform the visitor's thinking about the key values and challenges of a pluralistic society. Project activities will include creating a prototype that models one section of the new design, and testing the prototype at two locations with key target audiences of jewish philadelphians, non-jewish philadelphians, and national tourists. The feedback from the test audiences will be compiled by an evaluator in a report, and the findings will be used to adjust the final design for the core exhibition. As a result, the museum will engage with a wider and more varied audience, and visitors will experience a deeper appreciation of and commitment to america's ideals.
