Due to economic and geographic barriers in Cape Town, only a limited population can benefit from the educational experiences offered by the Museum of Childhood. We collaborated with the museum to develop a mobile exhibit which will share their message of celebrating childhood with communities outside their reach. Utilizing results from surveys and interviews, we developed an exhibit message, designed immersive storytelling booths, and created a virtual tour, which would allow the museum’s overall message to reach a larger audience.
