The Dowse Art Museum Wayfinding

  • Michael Pester
To improve the ability of visitors to easily navigate around The Dowse Art Museum, I re-designed the wayfinding system, and managed its production and installation.
This was a project that I took on myself and found time on top of the rest of my work, after seeing the need. I then consulted with relevant collegues, before pitching it to the senior leadership team.
The wayfinding that I designed is made up of large hanging signs directing visitors to the various galleries or towards the toilets, while everything else-of only secondary importance-is smaller and in the form of a list. Venue hire spaces are labelled with vertical signs that are clear if you're looking for them, but subtle enough not to add much visual clutter.
