About MuseFinder

MuseFinder is a desktop-first website that helps people discover nearby museums and the features each one offers.

Project duration: 1 week

Problem

Finding the right museum is harder than it should be. Most location search tools share only basic details, so visitors struggle to compare accessibility options, discounts, tours, family programs, or special exhibitions.

As a result, people miss cultural experiences they would enjoy, and museums miss visitors who would have been a good fit.

Target Audience

Persona 1: The student

Students want meaningful cultural visits that fit tight budgets and packed schedules. They look for student discounts, free days, and programs tied to their coursework.

They need a fast way to see what is nearby, what each museum offers, and whether a visit is worth their limited time and money.

Persona 2: The visually impaired senior

Many older adults with vision loss still want cultural outings and social connection. They rely on screen readers and clear information about guided tours, senior discounts, accessibility support, and transportation.

Because they often depend on family, friends, or rideshare, they need reliable details before they go. Confusing websites make planning harder than it needs to be.

These two audiences have different goals, but both need museum features they can find quickly and understand with confidence.

Ideation Process

How do I keep the experience simple for people of all ages? Should users be able to save favorite museums for later?

Insights Gained

I care about museums, so this project started with problems I have seen firsthand. Visitors need better feature details up front, especially around access and scheduling.

The biggest takeaway was to keep the experience simple. I left some ideas for later so the first version could stay focused and easy to use.
