Because the product is still in development, the website is designed to highlight the technology behind the product as well as the credentials of the people involved in the project.

An AJAX form on the homepage makes it easy to submit questions without leaving the page.

The design is minimalist, allowing the amazing artwork at the museum to come to the forefront. A new search feature makes it easy to find the artist or event you're looking for.
