At the Museum of Medieval Stockholm (Medeltidsmuséet), one thing they seem to work a lot with is lights and sound. There are several displays where they incorporate appropriate music with the content of the display. One example is a display called “the tavern”, where real size dolls are the different characters at a tavern during Medieval Stockholm. What is amazing is how the museum works with the sound for that display. It consists of recordings similar to that of a real tavern back in the middle ages. This is something that really helps the visitor receive a sense of reality at the museum.
Unfortunately, the Museum of Medieval Stockholm is quite poorly lit. This is something that affects out specific target group, elder people, a lot. In many cases they might have poor eyesight in dark spaces which means they can experience difficulties with reading the texts associated with each display. It might also cause people to trip when walking around the museum.
