Museum of Mankind

• Sight and Sound
• A Multimedia Presence on the Web

Transform your Visitors Experience

• Web users want museum web pages to go go beyond
  being merely a database of objects.
• Visitors want a virtual experience of visiting
  the museum.
• They long for media rich interactivity with the
  museums collections and the stories of these
  collections.
• Use multimedia objects to develop an
  interactivity for the user that maximises the
  presentation of the museums collections.

Interactivity leads to Accessibility

• Using swap images to provide immediate
  contrasting or comparable images to the user and
  so develop associations and reveal aspects of the
  artefacts previously unappreciated by the
  visitor.
• Using Flash Movies to attract entertain and
  inform the web visitor.
• Using multimedia to encourage further exploration
  of the site using drop down menus to facilitate
  navigation.
• A popular virtual visit will encourage real visits
