The Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh has launched a major interactive exhibition dedicated to the work of the late author and illustrator Eric Carle. The showcase features immersive environments based on five of Carle's most famous collage-based books, including "The Very Hungry Caterpillar," designed to engage young visitors through tactile and visual storytelling.
Graduate students at the Corcoran School of the Arts & Design, part of George Washington University, have created an interactive exhibition titled “American Made” to commemorate the United States’ 250th anniversary. The exhibit, on view at the Luther W. Brady Art Gallery until May 14, combines 21 traditional artworks from GW’s collection—including photographs, pottery, and textiles—with interactive elements such as a touchscreen map and audio components. The project was developed collaboratively by students in museum studies and interactive design programs, led by professors Laura Schiavo and Sam Shelton, as part of the school’s annual NEXT Festival. Featured works include Patricia Kennedy-Zafred’s contemporary quilt “Tagged,” which addresses the incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II.
