The funds will go toward six new thematic exhibition spaces featuring artificial intelligence and biological augmentation, as well as a reimagination of the building and visitor experience, the museum announced in a press release.
With the anniversary three years away, officials said the exact exhibits and roll out dates are still being planned, though the exhibitions will focus on bioscience, space and environmental sciences, among other topics. At a time when science and technology have never been more important in our lives, this is the moment to push boundaries, reimagine what s possible, and begin to rethink the Franklin Institute experience, said Larry Dubinski, CEO of the museum. We remain incredibly grateful to Bank of America for their belief in our mission, their longstanding partnership and philanthropic support, and their investment in the future of The Franklin Institute.
