The long-awaited, several times postponed opening of the Newseum has been announced…AGAIN.
“The world’s most interactive museum” is set to open April 11, and those who are among the first to witness this extravaganza of news history get to do so for free. Unfortunately, after opening day, it will be a pretty penny at $20 a pop to visit.

However, as a former employee, I can only imagine that this is a worthy price for the amount of digital and interactive media that will bombard the average visitor.

Check out more on the Newseum Web site.

…AND…

Take a sneak peek at a few of the kiosks from my projects on the right…they are just still frames, but they hint at what’s inside!

The Press Freedoms Exhibit appears in the World News Gallery and allows visitors to compare the freedoms of countries around the world. This kiosk allows users to zoom and pan using the touch screen monitor. For more information on this gallery visit the Newseum Web site.

The Journalists Memorial kiosk stands next to the glass wall that commemorates the lives of the journalists who have died reporting the news. It allows visitors to search for journalists by name, place of death, year of death, or organization. For more on this exhibit visit the Newseum Web site.

The Interactive News Gallery is one of the coolest places in the Newseum. You can pretend to be a TV Reporter or you can go play games at the many stations. This menu displays and loads all of these games. For more on the Interactive Newsroom, check out the Newseum Web site.
