Inspired by the SPAM Museum, our project was to design a museum for a Hormel Foods company. Avery, Owen, and I were in a group. We chose to make a museum for Planters, a penut company.
The Plan
First, we did research on museums, including the SPAM museum. Next, we brainstormed possible companys to make a museum about. After, we designed and made prototypes of exhibits in the museum. Finally, we presented our museums to the SPAM museum.
Research
The SPAM museum gave us a virtual tour and gave us tips on how to make an engaging museum. Afterwards, my group and I did some research on other Hormel Food companies.
Brainstorm
We brainstormed what our favorite companies were based off of the research. After some discussion, we chose to make a Planters museum. We also brainstormed what exhibitions to include in the museum. To get inspiration on how to make it, we searched the web for ideas and made a mood board.
Design and Prototype
We decided to make the museum a peanut shape, with different exhibitions such as a life-size Mr. Peanut, a gift shop, and fun facts about Planters.
Presentation
Finally, after we made the prototypes for the exhibition, my group presented our museum to the SPAM museum. We recieved positive feedback, as well as some areas for improvement.
