National Women’s Hall of Fame

The National Women’s Hall of Fame expanded in every way—in size, reach and influence—and needed new ways to tell the inspiring stories of America’s great women.

The Hall’s new location features four exhibit organizing concepts: Impact and Inspiration, History Only Answers the Questions We Ask, Milestones Mark Our Progress, and Democracy in Motion. Spanning three floors, the exhibits feature the rights, roles, contributions and values of American women through print media, digital graphics, artifacts and interactive displays.

The intimate interactivity of the spaces that make up the hall were first captured and confirmed by precise digital modeling to help the team understand the materiality and lighting as they contributed to the overall user experience.

While the Hall highlights individual inductees and their accomplishments, visitors will also find stories about Seneca Falls, the Mill, and the labor movement woven throughout. From the finished-out first floor, to the future work at upper floors, the Hall has the potential to house a significant and important collection of experiences, attracting visitors, donors, local supporters and national enthusiasts.
