The Lab at The Peale is a platform for innovating the museum experience. With the support of Quatrefoil Associates, exhibit and experience designers, the Lab is a think tank and safe space for play and experimentation in the cultural sector. Centering storytelling and community voices, the Lab operates online, in the galleries and garden of the historic Peale Museum, and at outdoor and partner sites across Baltimore and beyond.
