Exploring, Engaging, and Empowering for a Better Tomorrow

Listen to the major transformation project undertaken at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History – how it started, where the project is now, and what’s left to complete, focusing key analysis on:

• The efforts to transform the digital strategy alongside the campus to include collections’ digitization, an expansion and reimagining of our educational content, and an institution-wide initiative to make sure the digital assets are managed and discoverable.
• 3D initiative – expanding the virtual options while launching a 3D scanning program for over five million objects.
• Grant funding to digitize and preserve the Non-Human Primate, Vertebrate Paleontology, Invertebrate Paleontology, and Paleobotany collections.
• The future: bringing collections and media online to extend the reach of the museum to a global audience; expand the exhibits through digital media to deepen the experience and understanding of the real-world exhibits.
