The Visitor Experience

The Mint Project will offer an exciting new learning environment that brings history to life in a relevant, fun and engaging manner.

Experiences at the Mint will EXPLAIN, INSPIRE, and TEACH, promoting conversation, inquiry, creation and adventure.

When restored, the unique mix of experiences at the Mint will include:
An "AHA" experience is an immersive Must Do that Delights, Impresses and Teaches. They immerse the visitor in a compelling and deep learning experience that induces a lasting impression, delivers an emotional impact, and imparts a personal take away from the institution. They represent the experiences that visitors self-report to families and friends as the must see/do aspects of their visit, highlighting the museum’s greatest stories and artifacts, as well as introducing them to all that the San Francisco Bay area offers.
