The National Maritime Museum Cornwall embarked on an innovative project to enhance visitor engagement and showcase its rich archival collection of small boats. Engaged by interpretation designers Designmap, Figment developed five interactive exhibits strategically positioned along a suspended walkway, offering patrons an immersive journey through maritime history.
Within the museum’s exhibition space, these interactives serve as dynamic portals into the past, providing context and a multifaceted exploration of maritime heritage. Meticulously crafted to intertwine with the surrounding exhibits, they blend archival materials with tangible artefacts, inviting patrons to delve into the stories behind each vessel and uncover the triumphs, challenges, and adventures that define a rich maritime history.
Moreover, the project underscores the museum’s commitment to accessibility and inclusivity, with interactive elements designed to cater to a diverse range of visitors. Through intuitive interfaces and engaging content, the interactives foster meaningful connections with Cornwall’s maritime heritage, inspiring curiosity and sparking imaginations.
