The Challenge

MOPOP is a vibrant, community-centered museum dedicated to exploring and celebrating contemporary pop culture, from music to video games to film, fashion, and beyond. 

Their existing website no longer matched the energy, diversity, and breadth of their mission. The site needed to communicate inclusivity, creativity, and the sense of discovery inherent in pop culture. Simultaneously, it also needed to offer intuitive navigation, clear paths for visitors, and a flexible system for future exhibitions and content.

Our Approach

We started with moodboards and defining a visual and UX language that felt playful, inclusive, and dynamic. The goal: echo the spirit of MOPOP’s exhibitions and cultural mission. 

Then we built a robust Webflow site with custom CMS collections to support a wide variety of content: exhibitions, events, online collections, community programs, visitor info. We prioritized clarity, accessibility, and flexibility so MOPOP’s team can easily update content and reflect the ever-changing nature of pop culture.

The Results

The new site gives MOPOP a digital presence that matches the ambition, spirit, and inclusivity of their mission. It invites visitors to explore, discover, and connect, digitally mirroring the experience of visiting the museum itself.

Key outcomes:

  • More intuitive and engaging experience for diverse visitors, from longtime fans to newcomers exploring pop culture for the first time
  • Clean, flexible CMS system paired with a human focused editor that enables the MOPOP team to update exhibitions, events, and content without technical barriers
  • A streamlined calendar and ticketing flow that allows visitors to book tickets in only two clicks, supported by integrations that connect the museum’s reservation and scheduling tools directly into the site
  • An accessible experience built to align with WCAG guidelines so visitors of all abilities can engage with exhibitions, programs, and information with confidence
  • A digital platform ready to evolve as pop culture continues to shift, reflecting MOPOP’s commitment to storytelling, community, and cultural conversation
  • Stronger alignment between MOPOP’s values and their online presence, helping the museum better serve and grow its community
