Measurable Outcome(s)

The short term impacts have been achieved. It was helpful that the contactor, Larry Hutchins and Museology, was already familiar with the Museum, its critical members, and its culture from the prior creation of the Museum's first formal Gallery Plan (funded by MNHS): The Mini-Sota Gallery. The Museum is currently working with its Strategic Design Committee (which now includes a former member of Kidzibits, Peter Quinlan) to implement the original and new plans in order to fulfil the intermediate and long term impacts.
