The goal of this project was to aid the National Technical Museum in Prague in improving the museum experience through language accessibility for foreign visitors. After assessment of the current accommodations through participant observations, direct observations, and survey distribution, the team concluded the museum implements effective language accommodations. This was assessed regarding readability, comprehension, and enhancement of the museum experience. The team identified some areas of improvement and developed a list of recommendations presented in conjunction with demographic information on museum visitors as a deliverable to the sponsor. These recommendations and demographic information can further guide the NTM in accommodating foreign visitors.
