A lot of museum exhibits can seem rather static to visitors. One facility has come up with a great way to get their visitors involved. The Titanic exhibition at the Royal B.C. Museum http://www.royalbcmuseum.bc.ca/temporary_e...ts/titanic.aspx has come up with a fresh idea to improve interaction with their visitors and it doesn't cost a fortune.

As people enter the exhibit they are given a boarding pass with the name of an actual passenger that was on the Titanic. The last exhibit the visitor sees is a list of the names of survivors and those who were not so fortunate. Seeing whether the name of the person on the random ticket you received 'made it' is sobering. By giving people a personal connection to the exhibit, the Museum has come up with a way to bring their story alive. I wonder if other tourism attractions could use similar techniques to generate interest in their static exhibits?
