This session is being led by Becky Wehle, President & CEO of Genesee Country Village & Museum, and Masha Turchinsky, Director and CEO of the Hudson River Museum.  If you have suggested areas of discussion for the roundtable, please send them to Becky Wehle at BWehle@gcv.org by noon on Tuesday, November 11.  Please note, registration is limited for this participatory session.

Touch, Test, Transform: Creating and Prototyping Interactive Museum Experiences

Wednesday, November 19, 2025

11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EST

What turns a museum visitor from a passive observer into an engaged participant?  Great interactive experiences — and they don't happen by accident!  In this fun and fast-paced program, we'll explore the essential elements that make exhibits truly interactive and dive into the essentials of the prototyping process that brings these ideas to life.

During this webinar, you'll not only take away new ideas to use at your own institution right away, but you'll also meet E.L.V.I.S.!

MANY's 2025 virtual programs are supported by the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation (rdlgfoundation.org).
