Planning of seven map-based digital displays about the convergence of cultures in the American West to be displayed throughout the galleries of the Autry National Center's two museums.

Planning and testing of assumptions for seven interactive digital displays in newly designed museum galleries of the Autry National Center of the American West. The interactive displays will illuminate for museum visitors not only significant history of the American West, but also key issues of our times: How can we live on the earth? How can we live with each other?
