In recent years, museums have embraced technology to enhance visitor engagement. Interactive touchscreens, virtual reality tours, and even projector games on the floor transform the museum experience from passive observation to active participation. Such innovations captivate younger audiences and make learning more immersive. For instance, a visitor might “walk” through an ancient city using an augmented reality headset or solve archaeological puzzles projected beneath their feet. These advancements prove that museums are evolving to meet the expectations of the digital age while staying true to their educational mission.
