Palantir.net is pleased to announce the recent launch of the new Drupal Web site for the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA). One of the nation's leading art museums in its development of new media content, the IMA is committed to using cutting-edge museum technology as a means to engage and educate its visitors.
We collaborated with design partner Studio Blue and the IMA’s marketing and technical staff to develop a highly functional and visually engaging site that incorporates many of the hottest “Web 2.0” technologies like folksonomic tagging, blogs, podcasts, YouTube integration, and AJAX-style visual effects. The use of Drupal 5 was instrumental to the success of this highly ambitious project.
During the development of the main IMA site, Palantir also simultaneously built the Drupal-based Web site for the IMA's Roman Art from the Louvre exhibit. This site, which was also designed by Studio Blue, leverages the design of the main Museum site to provide users with information about this high-profile exhibit, including picture galleries, a collection of IMA-produced "Webisodes" in a variety of video formats, and a Google Maps mash-up that allows users to view the origin point of various artifacts in the collection.
