Virtual Victorian Street Interactive for Leeds Museums and Galleries
- Touchscreen interactive built for use in a museum and gallery environment
- Recreated a Victorian street and used to augment the physical exhibition
- Integrated into their MyLearning online platform
The Ambition
Abbey House Museum, part of the Leeds Museums and Galleries group, wanted to create a digital representation of their famous indoor recreation of a Victorian street.
What we did
We created a stylised digital version of the Museum at Abbey House that played on the Victorian period feel.
The interactive had a parallax style and recreated each of the shops on the famous indoor street. There are illustrations of period characters in the street and each of the shops had further details of items inside including photos, descriptions and interviews from people connected to the shops and their history.
Innovative
The shops and businesses featured included a pub, a chemist, an ironmonger, a mourning warehouse, a grocer, an art furnisher, a clay pipe maker, a toy and fancy goods shop, a pawnbroker and a newsagent/barber.
Project In Action
Accessed via a touchscreen on site at Abbey House, the interactive was a great hit with young children of all ages, especially those on school trips.
