Museum Observation Report

Today’s visit to the museum was quite exciting! Having the opportunity to see John Simpsons vision for the museum in its current state, and knowing we could influence the design is a golden opportunity from my perspective. What this signaled for me was the dialogue I had in Amsterdam talking about the flow and the influence of language and historical content in exhibits. I knew when I first saw the Seuss advertisement, I had my eye on a few of them. However, as a dyslexic person writing, and applying for all three, last minute I scoped the one that really connected to research on his life For me the biggest connection was museum flow, and usage of space related to different highlighted sections of Seuss’s work .As research on his life in …show more content…

I am not one for branding things and nor was Seuss, however, if the transition is done in taste and addresses issues that seemed to be close to Theodor’s heart it just might be the jumping point on this project. I did not say anything when seeing the sign where Ever Sources’s name was a front runner of the recycling information station. In this section, instead of having a board talking about ways to recycle, we could possibly have stations of how to’s. Inner city recycling bins, or even work stations where children interact by feeding the worm trays recycled paper and food scraps they don’t eat for lunch etc. Teaching hands on skills that let kids have fun interacting with the redevelopment of the Lorax forest through production of an organic fertilizer might be a way to plant native gardens that then attract butterflies, and other such things. Hands on teaching interaction of getting a plant, shovel, and some of that special worm compost to help plant a bush or trees grown therefore allows the visitors to play an active role in the creation of what a Lorax forest might look like in an urban area. Having a landscape blue print like a paint by number allows for an interactive teaching station in ecology. Furthermore, the child or adult who plants the seeds or tree can log it into a database, allowing them to take part in the reforesting of the Lorax environment. The idea is to build garden spaces like that all over the city where interests to create sustainable farms and flower gardens help to provide food, attract wildlife in the city, and help to reduce carbon levels in the cities by target parcels of land all
