Discuss how technology might improve visitor engagement in museums and historical
destinations.
Art museum shows undergo physical alterations as a result of technological
advancements. With modern technologies, show case illumination has improved. Visitors to
art museums may now see artworks without the dangers of ancient incandescent fixtures
thanks to advancements in lighting technology. Visitors have a unique, engaging experience
thanks to technology, which engages them in ways that traditional displays cannot (Chami,
and Kaminyoge, 2019). Museum displays are much more memorable when visitors have
physical encounters with them, and the ideal use of technology is to make viewers conscious
of the exhibition rather than the tech. With modern technologies, show case lighting has
improved. Visitors to art museums may now see artworks without the dangers of ancient light
bulbs thanks to advancements in lighting technology (Nurhablisyah Pratama, and
Nurfarkhana, 2019). From reduced bulbs to fiber optic cables and ultimately light emission
leds, museums and galleries have progressed (LED). The light gets less intrusive, less

harmful, and more versatile for each stride ahead. Exhibitions can employ modern media to
fulfil a major goal: making works and artefacts more accessible and understandable as many
customers as possible, allowing for mutual engagement and improvement. These days,
museums are becoming more technologically advanced, attracting visitors all year. According
to some analysts, museum attendance has increased more than ever since computers joined
the scene. Visitors have a unique, interactive experience thanks to automation, which engages
them in ways that traditional displays cannot. Museum displays are more remembered when
visitors have physical encounters with them, and the ideal utilisation technology is to make
the audience conscious of the show rather than the tech. This is true for both professional and
kid-friendly institutions. Children's museums are generally more dynamic than artwork or
paleontological museums geared at adults, although all galleries can be interesting by use of
interactive technologies and equipment. Over the last several decades, tourism has risen at a
breakneck pace, with more than one billion visitors coming a global location each year. One
of the primary drivers of tourism is humanity's natural inclination and motivation to know
about different cultures around the world. Natural and historical features, such as spectacular
views and renovated historic cities, are sought-after tourism assets that set one location apart
from another. However, because culture and heritage destinations are one-of-a-kind and
fragile by design, tourist officials must research how to best promote these historical
monuments while also protecting and maintaining them in the long run. The current problem
for the various international organisations is to engrave and over 1,000 cultural and natural
sites on the World Heritage List. Museums aim to educate, elicit emotion, and immerse
visitors in culture, among other things. Museums will be able to connect with visitors on a
deeper level by implementing technology and dynamic solutions into exhibits, involving
them not only intellectually but also physically. Guests can participate with the goods and
activities on show at museums with interactive exhibitions. Visitors can actively involve via
hands-on experiences rather than simply reading the articles posted. People are more
susceptible to discovering and acquiring new ideas when they connect physically. As a result,
interactive galleries can focus on teaching visitors while having fun. Another benefit of
interactive exhibitions is that they encourage creativity, particularly in children.
Visitors can attempt to play with many of the objects on exhibit because they are
made to be as robust as feasible. Because children are able to try with the exhibit on their
own, they will have no difficulty following rigorous instructions. Visiting an interactive
museum can help you become more creative. Museums with interactive displays are said to

aid in information retention. People are better able to comprehend and retain knowledge
when learning is integrated into enjoyable events. This is particularly important for children
who want to boost their learning capacity. Immersing visitors in displays is a good approach
to convey a storey or an idea while also encouraging visitor involvement and learning.
Participatory museums use cutting-edge technology that would allow visitors to engage all of
their senses while viewing the exhibits. Visiting museums is an intriguing way to obtain new
information. It houses political, economic, artistic, and economic artifacts that have shaped
the world we live in. It enables us to comprehend and appreciate history, as well as to take
pride in the accomplishments of those who have gone before us( Soderland, and Lilley,
2018).

Museum architects and administrators are working hard to respond to various changes
in order to continue encouraging information and developing museum experience. They're
looking for innovative ways to appeal to a wider audience by making museum visits more
engaging and pleasurable. Creating dynamic exhibitions, they believe, is one method to
create interest of their guests (Correia, Kozak and Rodrigues, 2019)

integrity of the sides and also promote and celebrate the educational, cultural and storage
significance. Apart from this place an important role of tourism inherited attraction to
