Any museum wants to engage with their audiences. Because of this, curators don't only select pieces, they tell stories. But what if they could tell stories in a new, deeper and far more involved way. What if they could help their communities _live_ the exhibitions?
This is where Stories that Celebrate comes in. High tech digital experiences can do remarkable things - but enabling somebody to understand the human element requires human stories. Not shorthand cut outs, but filled out three dimensional characters living through exciting and engaging stories that may indeed have been experienced by the wearer of a necklace, the user of a tool or the weaver of a carpet.
Imagine what you could do with these stories. Produce a podcast each week in the three months leading up to an exhibit. Have a story for a select few of the artifacts, something to engage and entire the listener. When your visitors arrive they won't be seeing 'hammer, 14th century' or 'necklace, 1930' - they'll be revisiting old friends and laying eyes on something they are already intimately familiar with.
