Toronto Museum Project

This is a follow up to my post about the Murmur Project. As I was listening to the news on my way to school I learned about a new project similar, but not as location based.  It is called the Toronto Museum Project and it began just last Saturday.  In a nutshell it is a new interactive exhibit that allows people to explore and discover Toronto history through listening and reading people’s stories. Using a similar approach to Murmur, it uses storytelling as a platform for communication and education.

The museum part of the project is providing a virtual exhibit for different artifacts about Toronto. Then 100 people were asked to share stories about these artifacts. Memorable events and personal experiences are expressed in relation to these objects.

Interesting idea just wanted to let you know about it.
