Repetition

It happens in the museum field that one ends up repeating oneself an awful lot. Each new group of tourists, each new class of school kids, each new adult that realizes the world is more interesting than he thought when he was 20, tends to ask at least some of the same questions. This can get a wee bit tiring. We therefore are designing computer monitors to be placed around the ship, to answer the most obvious questions. And the website (the English version of which I was working on Saturday and Sunday) is also meant to do the same. Hopefully, if one sticks to message long enough and in enough media, it will begin to sink in.

How does the museum accomodate folks like my husband and myself, who come with an already established better then average knowledge, yet still wanting to learn more?

Hello Karen!

Actually the exhibition is in English, and very indepth. The other media is meant to try to get visitors up to speed enough to be able to enjoy the more detailed knowledge presented in the exhibition. The text for the exhibition was written in consultation with 25 international Viking scholars.
