Sparking Innovative Ideas
Apr 11, 2018
And so it begins…Bill Reynolds of Canada, Lars Wohler of Germany, and myself, Mike Mayer of the USA start an adventure working with big and small museums, parks, zoos, historic sites, aquariums and other such sites. Sites that we in Experiential Interpretive Design (EID) call preservation, collection and historic recognition sites. We deeply love these places in all their many aberrations and are profoundly concerned they might lose their relevance.
