  • 1.  interpretation at its best

    Posted 03-24-2016 12:27 PM
    Greetings
    I design exhitbits for museums and visitor centers and have for over 30 years.
    Last night I went to a Loreena McKennitt concert and little did I know it was going to be an interpetive history lesson using her deep interest in the Celtic culture. She interspersed stories of her research, with music she either discovered or created. One of the best interpretion of history Ive ever seen or heard or experienced.

    I wonder how to bring this quality to static or interactive exhibits.
