Here is a cool idea I was thinking about for a history museum.

Take an interactive screen with phases (like Juilan suggested) and have running LED lights along
the wall connecting each screen.  So when someone stops and has the interactive screen (it could
run as either a movie or as an interactive database of information) and reads it, when it finishes
the LED to their right lights up and scrolls along the wall (maybe up and down in waves) to the
next one.  It looks flashy.  Its probably expensive.  But I would be impressed.

Another idea might be an interactive CD-ROM that teachers could use before visiting.  There are
some great ways to use technology, but unfortunately, even though I am tech head, there are less
ways of doing it now ththan may be available in the future (considering cost).

Good luck!
Aaron
