Redesign: museum webpage

During my final year at university, I completed an apprenticeship at the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, assisting the functional digital project manager on various projects. The goal of the following project was to redesign the useful information page of the museum. The Useful Information webpage was only consisted of a drop-down list (see below). My mission was to carry out the design thinking process to deliver an ergonomic prototype.
