Case Study: The Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum streamlines art collection search with Site Search 360

How Site Search 360 helps increase the Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum's online presence

The Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum, a major arts organization, needed a robust and faceted site search function to help visitors navigate its complex website, which included a museum, a design shop, and a massive digital archive. Their challenge was to enable seamless discovery across these diverse sections for users with vastly different intents, from academic researchers to product shoppers. The museum turned to its design agency, which recommended Site Search 360 as the solution.

Site Search 360 implemented a minimalistic yet powerful search tool that clearly organizes results by site section and offers detailed control through its platform. The solution dramatically improved the visitor experience, with over 95% of users now utilizing the search function. This led to significant increases in online shop sales and new museum memberships. The museum also leverages Site Search 360’s analytics and dictionary features to continuously refine search results and content discoverability.
