title = "From the deposit to the exhibit floor: An exploration on giving museum objects personality and social life",
abstract = "Museum objects have fascinating stories but are often presented in a detached, objective way that tends to keep visitors at a distance. In a collaborative research we have explored a different way of presenting museum objects: fifteen exhibits from the museum deposit compete for one of the four display cases on the exhibit floor. Objects are given a personal voice and a character and speak directly to the visitor: those that capture visitors' interest (based on physical presence or Twitter conversations) stay on display; the lowest scoring object is replaced. We report the co-design and preliminary evaluation carried out in the museum with both museum professionals and casual visitors.",
