August Wilson Center for African American Culture

REMIX is a hands-on, digital art experience. Inspired by hip-hop music and the work of painter Romare Beardon, REMIX allows visitors to create on computer screens their own multimedia collages with photos, paintings, video footage, and music mixes, which are then projected onto the gallery walls.

Arabian Horse Galleries

In a series of five linked interactive computer stations, kids enjoy games and adventures with their own Arabian horse. At the first station they choose their horse from a desert herd. On their journey through the galleries they explore a Bedouin tent, follow their horse's ancestor's journey from the Middle East to Europe, and compete in an Endurance competition. Finally, kids can create a digital scrapbook page of their horse and email it home.

Sioux City Public Museum

Visitors travel through time and space to discover important moments and places in Sioux City’s history. Users crank a wheel and select OLED buttons with icons that correspond to stops on the map. At each stop, they spin the wheel to browse through photos or to activate animations, such as the growth of the railroad lines. The experience packs in a wealth of content while providing a fun, hands-on interface.

National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium

The American Identity I-Wall shows how our cultural “fabric” is tied to the rivers that flow through the United States. As visitors slide a touch screen monitor in front of ten artifacts – ranging from a pilot’s wheel to a painting of “Washington Crossing the Delaware” – they are treated to a fun and engaging exploration of the story behind each object.

Arnold Palmer Center for Golf History USGA Museum

Monadnock Media created a custom touch screen interface which lets visitors explore this unique portrait of Arnold Palmer. The portrait is made up of thousands of tiny words that form quotes by and about the famed golfer. Visitors can zoom in and rotate the portrait to read the quotes, which are otherwise difficult to make out. A menu of the themes that organize the quotes is also available, as well as a short video interview with the artist.

Chicago History Museum

The Chicago History Museum's children's gallery gives kids a "sensory" experience that conveys the message that history is all around us and that our senses help us discover its traces. The SOUND room immerses kids in the sounds of old Chicago. A historic scene is projected in black and white onto the wall and visitors try to match appropriate sound effects to the image. Kids trigger sounds by hopping on dots on the floor, and gradually "fill in" the color of the picture as they locate the right sounds.

Truman Presidential Museum and Library

This interactive, multimedia theater helps visitors appreciate the complexities of presidential decision-making during the "Red Scare" era. Using surround sound, video, lighting, theatrical sets, and iconographic objects, the production shows the pressures that led the president to institute a program investigating government workers' loyalty. Visitors are asked to vote several times on issues that pose a choice between individual rights and national security.
