Seagrass Tales, Dugong Trails: A digital journey

This presentation will discuss the experience of the digital media featured in the temporary exhibition Seagrass Tales, Dugong Trails held at the National Museum of Qatar. This case study will present the integration and planning of digital media, such as interactives, games, and immersive experiences, in a physical exhibition, the challenges in their implementation that arose due to Covid-19, and the visitors’ reception of such exhibits. How can digital interactives as exhibits convey messages and complement narratives? What did visitors learn through these experiences? What did we learn as exhibition planners?
