Baltimore, MD - Fastspot is proud to announce the launch of a new Website for the Chrysler Museum of Art, a fine art museum in Norfolk, Virginia.
Founded in 1932 as the Norfolk Academy of Arts and Sciences, the museum was renamed forty years ago to honor Walter Chrysler Jr., the son of the founder of the eponymous automobile company, and his gift to the museum of nearly 10,000 art objects. Today, Chrysler boasts a collection of 30,000 pieces in sixty-two galleries, as well as two historic houses, the Jean Outland Chrysler art research library, and a glass studio set to open this November.
As part of the museum's recent rebranding effort, Fastspot created a modern and sophisticated Website that demonstrates Chrysler's vitality and connection to the community. The new site sustains the museum's history and tradition while supporting fresh, inventive new content and programming. It also promotes Chrysler as a free, familyfriendly experience.
Through a thoughtful information architecture and engaging user-centered design, the the site provides an intuitive and exploratory experience that showcases the Chrysler's collections and builds on the experience of visiting the museum. It also highlights the constantly changing nature of the institution's collections, events, and exhibits, driving in-person visits.
The Website is powered by Fastspot's content management solution, BigTree, which allows Chrysler's staff to easily update content while retaining design consistency and site functionality. Fastspot also created a mobile version of the site, which allows on-the-go visitors to quickly and easily view the museum's location, hours, contact information, and upcoming events.
"Fastspot produced a great new site for the Chrysler Museum," said William J. Hennessey, President and Director of the museum. "They were easy to work with, responsive to concerns, and as determined as we were to make the site a success."
