On-Line Exhibition Awesomeness

The National Library of Ireland is offering a virtual tour of the exhibition “The Life and Works of William Butler Yeats” on the award-winning Yeats Exhibition homepage.

After you look at it for awhile, tell me,

Is it based on a real 3-D exhibit or just built to look like that.

need to find out more, props on the meta-data.

We love models

When designing a new exhibit, it is helpful to build a white model early in the schematic phase. A white model is a small scale architectural model. They are often not very deeply detailed and are only built to study the mass and density of the exhibit elements and artifacts.

This one actually has a lot of detail. It’s a series of buildings in the village. Everyone who stops by our offices is intrigued by it.

You can go visit it , let me know how it is.

A very fun Flickr interface for browsing photos.

The "solar system" will allow you to see connections Flickr users have made to THF.

A Trip to the Archives

I was noodleing around working on some ideas for an exhibit on American literature. I took a trip to the Archives with Lisa. I forgot how cool the stacks are and how much stuff we have.

The photo above is a rare behind peek at the well organized stacks.

Web 2.0 can help us catalouge our collection

I found several references today about museums letting the public tag ther photos.

The Power House Museum noted:

"We have started presenting the tags that Flickr users have left on our images in the Commons on Flickr in their associated collection records in our online collection database. What this means is that the large number of tags added to our photographic collection in Flickr now are available in our OPAC to help others navigate the rest of our OPAC and connect with similar objects not available in the Commons and not in Flickr

An anthropological introduction to YouTube

There is a feed of user generated videos at the very bottom of this page. Videos of people making THF thier own. This video does a fantastic job of summing up the cultural meaning of all of this. Its kind of long, but well done and makes you want to dance.

Perhaps we can re work the wayfinding in the museum this way
