\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nadds an interactive digital dimension to the museum’s displays and is an
\nexperience that can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere for visitors – local and
\ninternational alike!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Using Virtual Platforms to Extend the Museum’s Collections
\nto a Larger Audience<\/b><\/p>\n

Many museums globally
\nare now using virtual platforms to increase the accessibility and outreach of
\ntheir exhibitions.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This change has been
\nbrought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, but also by broader trends within the
\nheritage and cultural institution world to innovate the traditional museum
\nexperience.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The MINT Museum of Toys
\nhas released its own virtual museum tours featuring the ‘Collectables’<\/a> and ‘Childhood
\nFavourites’<\/a>
\nexhibitions, with over 100 interactive touchpoints across both tours.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Exploring Vintage Collectables and Childhood Favourites
\nToys in a Different Light<\/b><\/p>\n

The ‘Collectables’
\nvirtual tour<\/a>
\nincludes themed collections that trace centuries of play, reflecting how major
\nglobal events have affected the world of toys. Hands-on exhibits show how toys
\nhave captured and responded to historical, political, and cultural changes like
\nthe Industrial Revolution, and the Globalisation and Commercialisation of the
\n19th and 20th centuries. Visitors can learn how toys are not just mere
\nplaythings, but also valuable historical artefacts that document and preserve
\nthe past.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Whereas the ‘Childhood
\nFavourites’ virtual tour<\/a> offers visitors a glimpse into different experiences of early childhood
\nacross the world, while showcasing some of the museum’s rarest and most
\nsought-after toys. Young visitors will especially enjoy a three-part
\nstorytelling session as part of the Puppetry collection, as well as interactive
\ntouchpoints that give the museum’s Teddy Bears and Dolls From Around The World
\na voice to tell their stories.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Both virtual tours use
\ninteractive elements and content-based touchpoints to give visitors a glimpse
\nbeyond traditional museum labels. This includes further information on the
\ntoys’ history and origins, voice-over narration to give the collections a
\nguided tour touch, and minigames that allow visitors to have fun while diving
\ninto the toys’ backgrounds.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Through these
\nmulti-sensory touchpoints, visitors can be immersed in the time period the toy
\noriginated in, enabling them to learn and understand the deeper stories within.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Interested members of
\nthe public can purchase virtual museum tours for ‘Collectables’ ($5)<\/a> and ‘Childhood
\nFavourites’ ($8)<\/a>
\nvia the Virtual Museum Tour
\npage<\/a> on the MINT
\nMuseum of Toys website.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The MINT Museum of Toys
\nhas launched virtual museum tours as part of an overarching digitalisation
\nstrategy to grant people all over the world access to their unique collections
\nand exhibitions. By leveraging digital tools, the museum is ensuring that
\naudiences who are unable to visit the museum in-person can still learn from and
\nenjoy its collections.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Creating digital
\nproducts also innovates the traditional museum experience, providing visitors
\nwith a refreshing and new way to learn, get curious, and anticipate upcoming
\nchanges to the museum’s vintage toy collection. Ultimately, this complements
\nphysical tours and acts as a stepping stone to get visitors interested in
\nseeing and understanding the full collection in-person.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This digital initiative
\nis proudly supported by the National Heritage Board. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n
