EVOLUTION & ECOLOGY EXHIBITION RESEARCH
fostering learning & connection with science through visitor-friendly design
In my MFA Thesis, I explored how natural history museums and other museums that interpret science can best seize the opportunity they have to foster greater public evolution and ecology literacy. The thesis presents a framework of universal barriers that visitors face in evolution/ecology exhibitions and suggests bridges that exhibition creators can build to help them overcome those barriers.
