Students Solve Art Museum’s Existential Threat

Teachers from Columbus City School District partnered with the Columbus Museum of Art to have students solve the museum’s real and urgent problem. Like many cultural institutions across the country, the museum is struggling to attract a younger, more diverse audience. Watch students delve into research, critical thinking and teamwork to develop creative solutions inspired by urban design and experiential exhibits.

“There’s a difference between presenting something as a class project vs. presenting something to a professional who actually wants the problem addressed.”
