The State Library of NSW
A stunning building with so much more inside that we needed to let the public know about.
Problem
The current NSW State Library had a very un-user friendly search experience, thus staling what could otherwise be a great engagement. THe challenge was how to UX absolute masses of content ranging from fine artefacts through the questions about the library space.
What journey could we build to make everyone happy?
