interactive museums

I found this interesting article about engaging visitors on the website of the JFK library and museum- check it out here.  It's a growing trend that museums, libraries and heritage places are using interactive technology to engage audiences both on site and on the web, perhaps accessed after the visit to show some of their experience with others.

This particular example from the JFK library and museum is great for anyone particularly interested in his career, the politics of the 60s and Kennedy's life generally. I really enjoyed listening to the secretly taped conversations and seeing footage of his campaigns, especially Jackie speaking Spanish to target that demographic.
