Armidale Folk Museum has unveiled a suite of new digital assets that will be used to create and enhance interactive exhibits, transforming the way local history is preserved and shared with the community.
At a special launch event, community members, museum stakeholders, and representatives from Armidale Regional Council had the chance to use the equipment and explore interactive displays.
The upgrades were made possible through a Creative Capital NSW Grant, awarded to Armidale Regional Council to support the revitalisation of the museum’s facilities and displays.
The funding has enabled the installation of new digital assets which will supplement and improve existing displays and allow for new interactive exhibits, designed to engage visitors of all ages and backgrounds.
Mayor Sam Coupland joined attendees in exploring the new features, noting the importance of innovation in heritage preservation.
“The equipment offers the museum team new ways to preserve local history and to help tell those stories,” Mayor Coupland said.
“With alternate platforms available, locals and visitors can engage and interact with new museum programs and the collection in a range of ways.”
