About Project
Travel in any country and especially in India is incomplete without a visit to the museum. Conventional museums often have a similar structure with exhibits and a brief explanation of it which sometimes fail to attract the interest of today’s generation. However, there are many museums with unique ideas. Take for example the Kite Museum in Ahmedabad or the RBI Monetary Museum in Mumbai. Both these museums have exhibits but are not interactive in nature. Your task is to understand what kind of information is shared in both these museums and figure out how it can be made more interesting by cleverly making use of technology to provide interactive learning and fun experiences.If you want to pick another museum you can go ahead and do that.
