00:00:51.351 --> 00:00:52.152
>> RIGHT.

00:00:52.218 --> 00:00:55.522

00:01:31.991 --> 00:01:33.159
WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE OUR

00:01:33.226 --> 00:01:35.662
INTERNATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS, AND

00:01:35.728 --> 00:01:36.763
MAKE MORE INTERNATIONAL

00:01:36.830 --> 00:01:37.530
RELATIONSHIPS, BECAUSE THAT

00:01:37.597 --> 00:01:40.366
REALLY ALLOWS US TO BRING THE

00:01:40.433 --> 00:01:42.435
WORLD TO INDIANAPOLIS THROUGH

00:01:42.502 --> 00:01:43.703
OUR TAKING THERE EXHIBITS.

00:01:43.770 --> 00:01:47.240
ON THE HORIZON, WE'VE GOT REALLY

00:01:47.307 --> 00:01:48.107
BIG --

00:01:48.174 --> 00:01:50.109

YOU WERE THE LEAD ORIGINALLY ON

00:01:56.683 --> 00:01:56.916
DINOSPHERE.

00:01:56.983 --> 00:01:58.785
THAT'S GOING THROUGH ANOTHER

00:01:58.852 --> 00:01:59.853
ITERATION, SO SOME OF THOSE

00:01:59.919 --> 00:02:01.488
TRIED AND TRUE EXHIBITS ARE

00:02:01.554 --> 00:02:02.422
GOING TO REMAIN.

00:02:02.489 --> 00:02:03.156
>> RIGHT.

00:02:03.223 --> 00:02:05.058
AND THAT'S SO IMPORTANT TO OUR

00:02:05.124 --> 00:02:07.260
BUSINESS, THAT WE KNOW, FOR

00:02:07.327 --> 00:02:08.995
EXAMPLE, WITH DINOSAURS, ALMOST

00:02:09.062 --> 00:02:10.296
90% OF THE PEOPLE WHO WALK

00:02:10.363 --> 00:02:13.433
THROUGH OUR DOORS GO INTO THE

00:02:13.500 --> 00:02:13.867
DINOSPHERE EXHIBIT.

00:02:13.933 --> 00:02:15.768
AND WHEN WE STARTED THAT

00:02:15.835 --> 00:02:17.036
EXPERIENCE, WE DID SO MUCH

00:02:17.103 --> 00:02:18.505
MARKET STUDY OF WHAT DO KIDS

00:02:18.571 --> 00:02:20.306
WANT TO SEE WHEN THEY WALK IN

00:02:20.373 --> 00:02:22.008
THE DOOR, AND DINOSAURS IS RIGHT

00:02:22.075 --> 00:02:23.209
THERE NEAR THE TOP.

00:02:23.276 --> 00:02:24.978
CREATING THAT WORLD WAS AMAZING,

00:02:25.044 --> 00:02:26.946
WORKING WITH THE ADVISORS, WE'VE

00:02:27.013 --> 00:02:29.782
BEEN DIGGING FOR THE LAST FIVE

00:02:29.849 --> 00:02:31.551
YEARS ON A TOP SECRET SITE OUT

00:02:31.618 --> 00:02:33.920
IN WYOMING CALLED THE JURASSIC

00:02:33.987 --> 00:02:34.187
MILE.

00:02:34.254 --> 00:02:35.788
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING NEXT,

00:02:35.855 --> 00:02:37.824
REPURPOSING THE SPACE, SO YOU

00:02:37.891 --> 00:02:39.526
FEEL LIKE YOU'RE TRAVELING BACK

00:02:39.592 --> 00:02:42.228
IN TIME TO THE JURASSIC WORLD

00:02:42.295 --> 00:02:44.497
AND ENCOUNTERING THE GIANT

00:02:44.564 --> 00:02:45.899
SPECIMENS THAT COME OUT OF THAT

00:02:45.965 --> 00:02:46.165
SPACE.

00:02:46.232 --> 00:02:47.767
A LOT OF COOL THINGS.

00:02:47.834 --> 00:02:51.538
THINGS ARE DIFFERENT NOW, WHEN I

00:02:51.604 --> 00:02:53.239
PROJECT MANAGED THE ORIGINAL

00:02:53.306 --> 00:02:55.008
OPENING IN 2004, TECHNOLOGY HAS

00:02:55.074 --> 00:02:56.976
COME SO FAR, THE INFLUENCE OF

00:02:57.043 --> 00:03:03.349
AMAZING REAL OBJECTS, THE

00:03:03.416 --> 00:03:05.451
BACKDROPS, SOUND AND LIGHT, FEEL

00:03:05.518 --> 00:03:06.219
SOMEWHERE NEW

00:03:06.286 --> 00:03:07.487
>> OBVIOUSLY COVID HAS IMPACTED

00:03:07.554 --> 00:03:09.989
ALL OF OUR LIVES, BUSINESS,

00:03:10.056 --> 00:03:11.758
INDUSTRY, YOU NAME THE SEGMENT

00:03:11.824 --> 00:03:15.061
OF THE ECONOMY, HOW HAS IT

00:03:15.128 --> 00:03:16.362
IMPACTED THE MUSEUM WORLD,

00:03:16.429 --> 00:03:17.363
ESPECIALLY GOING FORWARD, HAS IT

00:03:17.430 --> 00:03:18.765
CHANGED THE WAY YOU'RE GOING TO

00:03:18.831 --> 00:03:19.432
BE DOING BUSINESS?

00:03:19.499 --> 00:03:21.100
>> RIGHT.

00:03:21.167 --> 00:03:22.068
SO A COUPLE OF PRETTY AMAZING

00:03:22.135 --> 00:03:23.836
THINGS HAVE COME OUT OF WHAT HAS

00:03:23.903 --> 00:03:26.606
BEEN A VERY HARD TIME FOR LOTS

00:03:26.673 --> 00:03:27.373
OF INSTITUTIONS.

00:03:27.440 --> 00:03:31.144
BUT THE SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND

00:03:31.210 --> 00:03:33.846
SHARING OUR SUCCESSES AND WINS,

00:03:33.913 --> 00:03:35.281
AND WHAT HASN'T WORKED HAS

00:03:35.348 --> 00:03:37.450
REALLY KIND OF GELLED THE FIELD

00:03:37.517 --> 00:03:38.952
AS A COMMUNITY IN KIND OF A

00:03:39.018 --> 00:03:40.520
REALLY GREAT WAY, AND GOING

00:03:40.587 --> 00:03:41.921
FORWARD WE'RE REALLY TALKING

00:03:41.988 --> 00:03:43.923
ABOUT THE MIX OF THE VIRTUAL AND

00:03:43.990 --> 00:03:44.757
THE ON SITE.

00:03:44.824 --> 00:03:47.060
ONE THING THAT I FOUND OUT IS IT

00:03:47.126 --> 00:03:48.828
TAKES JUST AS MANY PEOPLE TO DO

00:03:48.895 --> 00:03:50.396
THE VIRTUAL AS IT DOES TO DO THE

00:03:50.463 --> 00:03:51.331
ON SITE.

00:03:51.397 --> 00:03:53.499
AND SO MAKING SURE WE HAVE THAT

00:03:53.566 --> 00:03:53.766
RIGHT MIX.

00:03:53.833 --> 00:03:56.102
BECAUSE WE WERE ABLE TO REACH

00:03:56.169 --> 00:03:57.937
FAMILIES IN ENGLAND AND SCHOOLS

00:03:58.004 --> 00:03:58.705
IN KENTUCKY.

00:03:58.771 --> 00:04:00.406
LET'S KEEP THAT MOMENTUM GOING,

00:04:00.473 --> 00:04:01.441
BUT MAKE SURE THAT WE LOOK AT

00:04:01.507 --> 00:04:03.343
ALL THE RESOURCES WE HAVE

00:04:03.409 --> 00:04:05.945
AVAILABLE, AND THAT WE RESERVE

00:04:06.012 --> 00:04:07.347
ENOUGH FOR THOSE INPERSON

00:04:07.413 --> 00:04:08.047
VISITORS WHO ARE

00:04:08.114 --> 00:04:09.449
COMING -- STARTING TO COME BACK

00:04:09.515 --> 00:04:09.649
AGIN

00:04:09.716 --> 00:04:11.417
>> JENNIFER PACE ROBINSON, THE

00:04:11.484 --> 00:04:13.086
NEW CEO AT THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM

00:04:13.152 --> 00:04:14.420
