Experience design for the Last Supper Museum

While studying at Politecnico di Milano, I got the opportunity to collaborate with the Last Supper Museum. Our challenge was to create a space design solution improving the overall user experience. We pursued giving more life to the museum, connecting it with the surrounding cloisters of Santa Maria delle Grazie and opening them up for the museum visitors.

Notable: Fuorisalone 2017 exhibition

• Politecnico di Milano, School of Design hosted a major exhibition of educational projects during Fuorisalone 4. - 9.4.2017 (Milan Design Week)

• This project was selected for the exhibition

OBJECTIVES - 1.) Improve the overall user experience at the Last Supper Museum, 2.) Integrate and expand the museum visit with the surrounding cloisters, 3.) Create a cohesive visual identity and additional services to complement the museum experience.

APPROACH - Our comprehensive project involved a multi-stage approach to address the museum's needs:

• A site visit and museum tour to understand the existing space and user flow.

• Mapping out the customer journey to identify pain points and areas for improvement.

• Conducting desktop research to gather insights into best practices in museum and landscape design.

• Developing landscape and interior design concepts to enhance the museum environment.

• Creating a cohesive visual identity to unify the museum and its surroundings.

• Exploring additional services to enrich the visitor experience.

SOLUTION - Our design solution aimed to reinvigorate the Last Supper Museum, creating an immersive and welcoming environment that enhances the visitor experience beyond the iconic painting itself.

• Integrated museum and cloisters for improved flow.

• Enhanced landscape and interior design for immersion.

• Developed a cohesive visual identity reflecting museum significance.

• Introduced additional services to enrich the experience.

CONCLUSION - The experience design project at the Last Supper Museum exemplifies the power of collaborative design in enhancing cultural institutions. By integrating the museum with its surroundings and enhancing the overall visitor experience, we created a more immersive and memorable journey for museum-goers. Our project's selection for exhibition at Fuorisalone 2017 further validates the impact and relevance of our design solution within the design community.
