Museo Memoria y Tolerancia

Project Overview

Museum Planning LLC developed interactive exhibition design for the Museo Memoria y Tolerancia in Mexico City — a museum dedicated to the memory of genocide and the promotion of tolerance, peace, and human rights. The museum is one of Mexico's most significant cultural institutions and a major destination for school groups and international visitors.

Interactive Exhibition Design

The interactive elements designed for Memoria y Tolerancia were crafted with particular sensitivity to the gravity of the subject matter — creating spaces for reflection, learning, and empathy without diminishing the weight of history. Digital interactives, including iPad-based exploration tables, allowed visitors to engage with primary sources, personal testimonies, and archival materials.

Approach to Difficult History

Designing for a museum of memory and tolerance requires a distinctive methodology — one that balances accessibility with respect, and engagement with solemnity. Museum Planning LLC brought this discipline to every aspect of the exhibition design.
