Virtual museum: HistoryWired
Saturday 15 December 2001
New from the Smithsonian Institution is HistoryWired: a few of our favourite things, a showcase of objects and stories. You can navigate the collection of objects with a very clever map that shows thematic connections between them. The site design builds on the experimental Revealing things website I wrote about in the Ironic column.
Design interact has this article about the HistoryWired site — the way the different skills of the interface designers and the curators were applied makes good reading.
