Musing about Museums

NARRATIVE

While labels in a museum are important, the sum of the labels are a sprinkling of facts that don't form a coherent narrative. These facts must be combined by humans into a interesting and useful narrative which can be traversed by visitors to learn about the museum's theme. This narrative should be delivered in a number of complementary ways (more on this later). But the best narrator is a human who can adjust the narrative to meet the needs of the listening audience.
