At the entrance of the museum, we added a tower with rotating graphic panels. These panels had historic photos on one side and a quick fact on the other. This is intended as a short interactive to wet some interest while allowing traffic to flow around it to adjacent rooms.

In the intro to Bartholomew County room, there is a central digital map table where visitors can travel thru time via the landscape of the county and zoom in on features of note. The walls of the room have a timeline of the history of Bart. county with interchangeable graphics and object vitrines.

Spinning graphics introduce you to important figures from Bartholomew county. They each include a photo, a notable quote and a bio.

To explain the history of manufacturing and production there is a web of the relationship between Bart Co. companies. The physical web gives details brief details of each company and connection. The tablet to the right provides dig-down information for curious visitors.
