Our exhibit team has over a decade of hands-on exhibit design experience. We've worked on art and animation exhibits such as the Animation Lab, the first public-access video animation studio, and Chuck Jones: An Animated Life. We've created technology exhibits like The Walk-Through Computer, and Virtual Reality Gallery, exhibits for parents and children to share as resources, such as the award-winning Best Software for Kids Gallery, cultural exhibits for Mexico and Thailand, musical exploration exhibits, interactive television studios for kids, and countless museum programs and events like The Great Hi-8 Video Project and annual holiday events.

We are drawn to this work naturally. MuseArts staff are college-educated yet remain curious, and are interested in a diverse array of subjects--from astronomy to the zen haikus. We are all are lifelong students of the world around us. We also care about informal learning.

MuseArts co-founder Christopher Grotke attended small-group seminars with Howard Gardener, Seymore Papert, the directors of Reggio Emilia schools, and other leading education theorists while working at The National Learning Center's Capital Children's Museum. He was a founding instructor in the innovative OPTIONS school program for at-risk inner-city 7th graders, and developed media courses for children of all ages including pre-schoolers enrolled in the Model Early Learning Center and taught introductory animation at American University.

MuseArts president Lise LePage taught poetry to Boston college freshmen, but prefers less formal teaching methods. She was a key developer of a high-speed networked collection of educational software for children that won a Best of Boston award for The Computer Museum and is currently being adapted for use at the Museum of Science. Over the years, she has taught and trained hundreds of individuals in such diverse areas as bank security, personal computing, database methodology, music, cooking, and English literature.

Grotke and LePage were beta-testers for the National Museum of American Art educational CD-ROM, are thanked in the IDG Dummies Guide to the Best Software for Kids for our work adapting the book into an exhibit, and had work featured on the Museums and the Web 1998 exhibit proceedings CD-ROM.

Other MuseArtians are veterans of children's , science, and technology museums and have worked in a variety of museum roles including public relations, exhibit development, museum management, store managers, desk assistants, tour guides, floor staff, and even in museum-quality framing and finishing. We truly understand museums.
