The document summarizes the design of a new Children's Gallery for the Royal Alberta Museum. It describes several interactive and immersive exhibits that will be included, such as representations of Alberta's natural environment with mountains and a forest, displays about the northern lights and wind, and areas for toddlers and temporary exhibits. The goal is to inspire young visitors to learn about Alberta's culture, people and environment through hands-on exploration and play.
Find the Chicago os one of the world's great cities - and this was a show to match author by john sacs. The show was great on so many levels. There seemed to be many more visitors than in recent years and the atmosphere was brilliant. Noisy, crowded to extremes, pushing and shoving, laughter, and banter of old friends bumping into each other, a year after they’d last met. http://www.jsacs.com/article.php

bisazza tiles
This Italian tile is at the top of the range when it comes to glass mosaic tiles for swimming pools. They come in a range of colours and effects. Bisazza offers solid colours in blue, green’s and white’s as well as colours less traditionally associated with swimming pool mosaic tiles. Bisazza also has a range of glass mosaics that are a blend of colours that can soften the look of the tiled area and help give the illusion of movement. Bisazza glass mosaic tiles come on a mesh back. As a distributor of Bisazza glass mosaics in Singapore, we are able to offer their mosaic glass range straight to you.

New Media, Technology, and Museums: Who’s in Charge? - Aurelie HenryAurelie Henry
Many museums struggle with where to put Web and New Media on the organizational chart and the decision can have far-reaching consequences for visitors and staff alike. Are they part of Information Technology? Education? The Director’s suite? Or all of the above? This session uses case studies and insight from small, medium, and large museums to help attendees identify the best organizational home for Web and New Media activities in their museums.
Aurelie Henry is the Education Technology Projects Coordinator for the National Postal Museum’s Education Department. Her background in history and cultural tourism is completed by an extensive training in website and interactive development within the realm of museums and practical interpretive and exhibit development experience. She is the project manager in charge of the enhancement of interactive kiosks located on the museum floor. She also brings her education background and expert knowledge of museum visitors’ use and needs for New Media and Technology to exhibits’ website creation and website’s redesign.
Shown is a pre-design presentation of my architecture thesis project. It shows the relationship of the concept to a draft strategy on what might be the outcome and final project due at the end of the year. Design schemes are still rough ideas and have many rooms for improvement throughout the semester.
Architecture is the art of spaces. The human feelings were influenced by architectural
space from time to time. Relating to the design of a history museum, it could evoke a
certain feeling or memory of a historical event. This dissertation focuses on the
influence of architectural space over period of times.
A theoretical as well as practical key issue in the design of museum and galleries is how
the layout of space interacts with displays to create a specific effect, express the intended
message to visitors. This dissertation aims to capture and represent the history of
mankind’s understanding of space in the design of an architectural building.
Museum Case Studies
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum
A museum is an institution that cares for (conserves) a collection of artifacts and other objects of scientific, artistic, cultural, or historical importance and makes them available for public viewing through exhibits that may be permanent or temporary.[1] Most large museums are located in major cities throughout the world and more local ones exist in smaller cities, towns and even the countryside. Museums have varying aims, ranging from serving researchers and specialists to serving the general public. The continuing acceleration in the digitization of information, combined with the increasing capacity of digital information storage, is causing the traditional model of museums (i.e. as static "collections of collections" of three-dimensional specimens and artifacts) to expand to include virtual exhibits and high-resolution images of their collections for perusal, study, and exploration from any place with Internet.[citation needed] The city with the largest number of museums is Mexico City with over 128 museums. According to The World Museum Community, there are more than 55,000 museums in 202 countries.[2]
This slide show is in conjunction with my design portfolio. This showcases my Thesis project as a cumulative example of the variation in acquired skills, and practices.
Seattle boasts beautiful natural scenery, numerous parks, many cultural attractions, a temperate climate, and a booming economy. The city is cradled by both the Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges and rests beside Puget Sound, and there is a reason it's known as the Emerald City. Here’s a few our favorites things to do in Seattle.

Presented at the Museums Australia 2012 National Conference in Adelaide. This presentation cites some international examples of when 'showing rather than telling' gets a message across effectively, and how museums might apply these principles in line with the National Standards for Australian Museums and Galleries. The Standards is the definitive best-practice guidance for museums.

Main Topics:
• Alberta’s People, Culture and Icons
• Alberta’s Natural Environment and

• Alberta’s Built Environment and
Infrastructure
We chose to weave the three topics
together, across the gallery rather than
have separate stations for each topic. This
concept diagram was an initial study on
how the three topics could work together
to build an integrated story.

Look and Feel
The client is inspired by the Reggio Emelia teaching method. We found the bright and
open environments of the typical Reggio classroom to be a good inspiration. They
are not afraid of a little chaos in the name of discuovery. The Reggio philosophy uses
many sortable loose parts and pieces in it stheory. We looked to design a space that
encoraged discovery and innovation.

Look and Feel
For this gallery, we did not want to make any fake
experiences. If something could not be brought into the
gallery, then it would be represented in a stylsitic manner.
We chose to use natural materials with exposed grain and
texture, instead of fiberglas and plastic.

Entrance
As you enter the Children's Gallery, you are given a chance to collect yourself. There is
a large map, to explain how the gallery relates to the province as a while. There is also
a display case which represents the gallery's manifesto on play and learning.

Alberta Naturally
The Alberta Naturally Section is modelled after the natural and man-made
aspects of Alberta. The main room of the gallery is dominated by two
mountain ranges. Patterend after the Canadian Rockies. Some of the other
highlights are a 3-story tall grain elevator, a forest and the Dig Pit area.

Wind Wall
Once the visitor travels through the mountains and up the ramp, she will arrive at the
controls for the Wind Wall. Inspired by installation artist Ned Kahn, this interactive
shows wind currents as they flow across a field of wind chimes.
Right: an existing wind current installation.

Northern Lights
At the top of the ramp, visitors will also encounter an interactive that
explains how the aurora borrealis works. Dials and sliders will change the
lighting effects of an LED curtain to simulate the northern lights.

Forest Explorers
In the forest, visitors will find animal tracks, sounds and smells. All clues to the
different animals that can be found in Alberta's forests. There is also a Forest sounds
symphony wall that will allow visitors to compose there own sounds of the forest.

Dig Pit
This area will sometimes house an archeological interactive. There will be
tools for excavating and measuring, whatever visitors uncover. A stratigraphy
display in The surrounding walls will hold artifacts that scientists have
uncovered from local digs.

Toddler Area
Knowing there are special needs for the youngest visiors (0 to 3-years-old)
we designed an area just for them. Before entering, you will leave your shoes
in a low-wall with historical artifacts that have been used in exploration.
Above the Toddler Area is a constellation themed mobile that will tell the
story of what native peoples see when they look at the stars.

Alberta's Makers
The maker space will be a place to build, take apart, and make some thing
new again and again. Hopefully young visitors will return to the Children's
Gallery every few weeks to foster a particapitory community of empathetic
young people who reflect on their experiences at the museum and out in the
world.
