Navigation System for Fundación Juan March Gallery

Located in the heart of Madrid, Spain, the Fundación Juan March gallery is a cultural center dedicated to hosting live performances, debates, and lectures that are open to the public. The gallery has a public library, special collections archive, as well as Cortázar’s personal library. In order to compress all of these resources into a manual for visitors to access, a digital navigation system was designed to work on Instagram stories to simultaneously attain social engagement. This navigation system follows a simply line system that mirrors the gallery’s architecture, and allows visitors to tap between the stories to easily see what’s on view, and to freely explore the resources available on site and upcoming events.

Role: Designer
Project Type: Navigation system, social media
