Through discussions with designers, curators, and museum educators, Design Guides will be equipped with design education and the design thinking tools to understand and speak knowledgeably about current exhibitions and design history. Throughout the year, training sessions will hone skills in public engagement and inquiry, supporting tours that are adaptable and responsive to contemporary audiences.
