Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.

Hi Barbara, welcome!

Hmmn, it's a pretty big area and I could think of a fair number of examples.

Is it possible to be a little more specific? For example, community
engagement with exhibit development? With a concept? Certain age group?
With science, I assume? An area in particular? Or does the subject area
matter less and the nature of the engagement between the museum and a
community in particular matter more?

If it doesn't matter, let us know! I'll suggest away.

Best,

Maria Mortati
