For better or worse, Instagram and its influencers are changing the way we envision, design, and market exhibitions. “Made-for-Instagram” moments seem increasingly important for museums to remain relevant in the digital age. Panelists examine this growing trend from marketing, educational, and exhibition-planning perspectives, citing examples from their institutions. Let’s explore the implications of social media for education and the role of the museum.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify and evaluate exhibition elements that attract social media users, and develop creative design ideas to engage this audience.
• Develop strategies to engage social media users with educational content that will deepen their museum experiences.
• Assess potential benefits and detriments of Instagram-minded exhibition design.
