About SciMu

A public science museum for the internet.

SciMu is an online-first science museum where the same knowledge can be explored through many pathways: departments, wings, exhibits, timelines, geography, age, careers, species, laws, big questions, and original learning experiences.

Built in public

SciMu 1.0.5 is not pretending to be finished. It is the first theme prototype for a museum that can grow over many versions, with design studies, experimental pages, and invitations for people to help shape the project.

The long-term direction includes a Science Index, curated exhibits, future concept artwork, guided visual tours, educational resources, and eventually a fuller style guide.

Typography

Style guide study

The early typography plan uses Venryn Sans for interface text, Clayborn for dramatic exhibit titles, Itim for guided notes, Kelvinch for scholarly labels with ligatures disabled, and EB Garamond 12 Regular for large species hero titles.
