Title of Current Page

IMTC and the Michael C. Carlos Museum at Emory University developed an interactive information system, Passport to the World, for visitors to the museum. The program was installed in five galleries and the entry hall of the museum from 1995 to 2000. During this time visitors were able to discover facts about the wide variety of cultural artifacts the Museum has to offer via these entertaining, educational kiosks that looked at major artifacts in each collection of the museum. The project provided a deep information resource useful to casual visitors, students, or researchers. The project was funded by a grant from the Lila Wallace/Reader's Digest Foundation Museum Accessibility Program.
