Introduction |
||||
 |
An innovative project increasing access to information and enhancing knowledge at The Fitzwilliam Museum |
|||
| The chance to discover how
a sculpture was made, watch a video clip putting an artwork into context
or hear an expert commentary about an Egyptian artefact can add a
great deal to a museum visit. Exhibits are brought to life, knowledge
shared, and new perspectives offered.
It can be difficult to do this within a museum. Labels and printed guides provide limited information. Large panels and video screens are often inappropriate. Human guides are not always available. Imagine, however, the potential of carrying around a rich source of information during a visit; an expert speaking to you whilst you look, highlighting details which might otherwise go unnoticed or offering an explanation of why an object appears the way that it does. A resource that puts multi-media content to support the viewing of exhibits into the hands of the visitor. |
