Canadian Musuem for Human Rights

The Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) is the first museum solely dedicated to the evolution, celebration and future of human rights. The Canadian Museum for Human Rights is the first national museum to be built in nearly half a century, and the first outside the National Capital Region.

We were recommended to the Museum by another client, and our proposal was accepted to build an end-to-end Open Source platform for their website, and to use our extended Strategy and Design services. We first worked with the museum to finalize their creative designs, consult on their content architecture and mobile touch strategy. Once we designed an open architecture which consisted of Drupal + WxT + Solr + Alfresco... we brought all their digital assets together and built a comprehensive collaborative social site allowing people to share their stories and be participatory in a state of the art site. With exceptional features for calendar, event and itinerary planners, interactive floorplans, blogs, news, Ask a Curator, Maps, and much more… which all adheres to accessibility standards, is fully bilingual and performs beyond expectations.

Stay tuned for project updates and screenshots once the site is unveiled in September 2014!
