Exhibits can be as simple as a set of wooden blocks and complex as a NASA mission control center. If they are to be successful and achieve an institution’s goals depend upon their ability to engage visitors. I believe relevant, authentic and fun can be the keys to success.
The Interactive
They can be as simple as a lift flat and complex as NASA mission control. A great interactive provokes that eureka moment. This interactive is from the Engineer It! program at Tsongas Industrial History Center.
The Object
At the Scottish Rite Hall of Fame, a relevant artifact appears with the story of prominent masons. This solution protects the paper objects while highlighting their connection to specific content.
The Wheel
This spinning wheel engages visitors in interesting stories that otherwise might be missed by sparking curiosity.
“One of the best hands on museums we have encountered. We loved it!!!”
