<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Genevieve,</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">in the grand exhibition hall in the
National Museum in Edinburgh they have (had?) an very interesting
concept to display the specimens: visitors need to match voices
with corresponding animals. It was really interesting to see how
many people got trapped (=stayed) and engaged.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Might be worth checking if such a
concept can be transferred into the virtual space (should be
doable); the specimen information would then be a plus, while the
trigger to attract the curiosity of the visitors is entirely
different from how we usually attract our audience.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">There are some similarities with the
board game Wingspan: you can learn A LOT about North American bird
life, but this information sneaks into the game from behind.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hope this helps</div>

<div dir="ltr">Happy Monday everyone,
<div>I'm doing a project on the visualization of zoology
collections for my masters in museum studies, specifically on
online public resources for visualizing collections. I'm
interested in the intersection of online "collections tours"
and database web portals, where a virtual visitor can see
interactive visuals of collections objects and the storage
space and get specimen information. The example that inspired
me is from UAMs Virtual Herbarium Tour (<a
href="https://www.thinglink.com/scene/1406090479749038081"
moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://www.thinglink.com/scene/1406090479749038081</a>),
where you can click on Caryophyllales and then see a visual of
the cabinet, and click again to bring up a specific herbarium
sheet with information on that specific specimen. I love this
example because it gives a feel for the actual collections
space and can teach visitors about specific specimens without
just linking to a database portal that is not as accessible to
the public.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Would anyone happen to have other examples of this kind of
collections visualization, or platforms that might be ideal
for creating such a product? I'll be doing my project on one
cabinet in our collection as a snapshot for the public to see
how specimens are stored and accessed. Of course this kind of
virtual resource would not be feasible for an entire
collection, but I think it's very intriguing and useful for
visualizing a specific portion of a collection. </div>
<div>Thank you!</div>
