ExhibiTricks: The Museum Exhibit Design Blog: Spokesperson Jay Ochs informed me that the full name of the new museum will be the Klee-Shea Discovertorium Incrediblarium Children's Museum, named after the renowned community leader and paper goods heiress Dr. Kleemona Necks (known to everyone by her childhood name, "Klee") and her beloved 63-year old pet tortoise, Shelly, affectionately called "Shea".

I am a big fan of children’s museums. COSI, the Center of Science and Industry is a large children’s museum near my home and I spent a lot of time there as a kid. But I can still go back and have just as much fun now as I did when I was six or seven. Also, as someone who frequently takes care of children, museums, especially ones catered towards children, are LIFESAVERS. They are a great way to entertain kids for an entire day, which is not an easy task to accomplish. I love how innovative children’s museums are as well. They do not just try to present information, they try to do so in an interesting and typically interactive way. By interacting with the material you can learn so much more and so much faster than just reading a placard in front of a diagram. We should always support more children's museums, but also we should invest in all museums presenting their information in similar ways as these museums.
Of all the museums in the world, it feels like children’s museums are the ones with the most creative design ideas from the imagination. Just looking at the beautiful outside architecture has me excited to read more about what the museum is planning and it did not disappoint. Looking at what Klee-Shea had brainstormed, I am absolutely amazed. It seems they are fully taking advantage of new technology and ideas to create a fun space. I was shocked to read about the grocery holograms because I have never seen something like its description before and it sounds like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. If these ideas can be executed exactly how they were described, children will not be the only people wanting to go. I, in fact, would like to be first in line. It’s great to see that the scale of ideas for a children’s museum matches the great imagination of a child.
Wow the things mentioned in the article seem like so much fun and interesting! It’s pretty unusual to hear how they want to make a room full of things that just don’t quite work to bring out feelings of frustration. Normally places just try to make kids bubbly and entertained. I also enjoyed reading that they would have the visitors leave through a gift shop filled with things they already KNEW no one would want to buy, quite a different tactic than most things nowadays. Too bad this article was an April Fools prank! I was pretty suspicious at the “Bowling Ball Pit” since that seems like a pretty dangerous situation, but if you ask me, that’s just natural selection. I am really curious now though on what the reactions would be like if this became a real thing that people could go visit. Especially to watch people get frustrated at broken exhibit things.
This is sooooo cheeky. I love it. What a great way to poke fun at the disastrous reaction so many people had to this pandemic. Holographic grocery stores? Wow. Sounds like something my parents would blame on millennials when, in fact, THEY were the Karens hoarding toilet paper and barreling through CostCo to get the last box of baby spinach. The Bowling Ball pit is also too funny. Out of all of these I think this one could be the most successful as an actual art exhibit. Playing marbles seems like a great way to waste time instead of staring at walls. Or like, exercising. And last but certainly not least, the Feelings Room. Iconic. The photo is superb as well. Top meme quality. 10/10 would set something on fire trying to learn how the hell one plays marbles. Would also spend lots of money on tiny dinosaur erasers.
