Living Museum

Review::Living Museum is an experimental user interface designed to engage museum visitors and people at home with a selection of 1.2 million artifacts from the British Museum's digital collections in an interactive format. This independent project is not affiliated with the British Museum. Its infinite canvas interface centers on two features: a natural language conversational chatbot and a curating function. By reorganizing existing information into a conversational format, the interface offers an accessible and engaging entry point into the collections, encouraging audiences to explore objects in a more dynamic and proactive way. Positioned as an experimental initiative, it focuses on broad public engagement rather than providing original scholarly arguments or aiming for formal academic recognition.
