archaeological collection of objects from ancient China is displayed.<br />
The displays are accompanied by the video that provide detailed<br />
information about the objects - how and where it was used in everyday<br />
life, with a certain presentation plot. Visitors, who watched this<br />
video had a chance to look closely at the objects, learn more about<br />
the meaning, function and symbology of the exhibits, in comparison<br />
with those who just had a glance at the objects. Information Communication<br />
Technology often stops people in front of the display to<br />
check the available information. “Because of its inherently powerful<br />
visual and aural characteristics, media can support and complement<br />
presentation and interpretation in ways that the object... alone may<br />
not be able to do” (Lynn, 1998).<br />
Conclusion<br />
Educational and cultural requirements of the society to the museum<br />
make it carry out the educational mission. The museum performs a<br />
dual function - it accumulates historical and cultural experience and<br />
transmits it to visitors. The process of information transmission is<br />
peculiar due to the fact that a museum exposition as a model of reality<br />
communicates not only facts but opinions, ideas, concepts, and<br />
attitudes through certain museum objects. Interaction facilitated the<br />
improvement of museum expositions enhancing the emotional impact<br />
on visitors, which helps to adjust to the museum environment.<br />
So, ICT is an extremely powerful tool and the amount of information<br />
which could be provided with the help of it is unlimited. But<br />
on the other hand the extra information settings are competing with<br />
the object itself and the choice should be arbitrary, and there is a<br />
danger of overwhelming.<br />
