Last week, we invited our partners to join our Ind Last week, we invited our partners to join our Industry Discovery Dialogues, continuing the conversation about how we can shape the future of Muse Knoxville! 🌟

Led by the incredible design team at @lucicreative, we met with experts in healthcare, energy, transportation, engineering and construction, technology, nonprofits, and community partners—along with our own Muse staff.

We were overjoyed to hear from our community about how we can create a science museum that truly celebrates what makes Knoxville special.💚 We look forward to continuing these conversations and connecting with even more voices as we imagine the next chapter of Muse together.
