Beyond Artifacts: Museums Embrace Innovation and Immersive Experiences

Robert Hamilton, program manager for the exhibit design, fabrication, installation company Museum Arts, based in Dallas, believes that digital technologies won’t replace fabricated museum exhibits but will simply enhance them: “We’re seeing less desire to go fully digital than might be expected.”

He says the client’s budget usually dictates whether the display will be dynamic or static: “We always commit to creating the most dynamic static exhibit, even if it means the display won’t be dynamic in the same way a touchscreen or digital experience is.”
