I love museums

I love collections

I love visitors most

I think technology can sometimes help visitors to love

our collections too.

We want to encourage & empower museum professionals

to create sustainable (tangible) interactive experiences

that connect the physical dimension of museums and exhibitions

with relevant digital content in novel ways.

How can we share multiple layers of content,

while focussing on the object?
