Prime Access Consulting Accessibility / Inclusive Design Consulting Ran a two-phase engagement (January–August 2024): a "Practice of Inclusion" staff workshop series, then establishment of a Disability Community Advisory Group and two rounds of community-led prototyping that produced nine accessible touch objects from the museum's collection (including a Hannibal Lecter stunt mask, Muppet construction materials, a Hound's Helm from Game of Thrones, and a Bell & Howell 8mm projector) plus an accessible microsite with tactile descriptions; the work evolved into a recurring monthly touch program.
