Once Upon a Shape — Children’s Museum Jordan

October 20, 2014

In July 2013 Techniquest, along with KCA London, successfully tendered to design and build an early childhood development exhibition for the Children’s Museum Jordan.

This project became Once Upon a Shape and was successfully opened by Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah of Jordan in October 2014.

The response saw the team combine extensive exhibit development, 3D and 2D design, content and evaluation experience as well as world-class operational knowledge to deliver a proposal that was both ‘of’ and ‘for’ the children of Jordan as well as directly addressing the specific needs of this audience.

Techniquest and KCA London achieved this by working in close partnership with the dynamic team at Children’s Museum Jordan resulting in an iterative process that ensured each party was able to bring their particular skills and knowledge together to create a simple, united vision.
