The National Animation Museum, a planned new museum devoted to the art and science of animation in all its forms, has revealed that it has entered into a strategic collaboration with The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis in Indiana, US.
The Children’s Museum is a leading provider of family learning experiences. It aims to provide exceptional educational experiences in the arts, sciences, and humanities that can positively impact children and adults.
Developing an enriching experience
With this partnership, The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis is providing significant insights, assistance, and recommendations to improve the planning process for the National Animation Museum’s virtual and physical spaces.
Jennifer Pace Robinson, president and CEO of The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, says: “We are delighted to contribute our expertise to the National Animation Museum’s ambitious project. Together, we can create an enriching experience that sparks curiosity and imagination in visitors of all ages.”
Christine Farris, planning director for the National Animation Museum, comments: “The guidance provided by the executive and creative teams at The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis is invaluable as we navigate the complexities of planning. Their wealth of experience adds tremendous value to our educational mission, and we look forward to a successful collaboration.”
The National Animation Museum is currently in the planning stages, and regular updates on the development can be found on the museum website.
Last month, The National Animation Museum shared that it is partnering with London-based studio MinaLima, which is best known for working on the Harry Potter film series and franchise. The studio has created a unique logo for the museum which blends the history of cinematic art with the wonder of animation. It has also delivered a comprehensive style and brand guidelines which define a unified and visually striking identity.
The National Animation Museum also recently announced that three industry veterans have joined the team. David Sieden, VP of cinema partnerships at Disney Entertainment, has joined the museum’s board of directors together with Kerri Balabas, a senior manager at Universal Studios Creative. Christine Farris has been appointed to the leadership team as the planning project director.
