Museum Web Site Idea

Post by stem »

I just saw what I thought was a marvellous idea to put on our web site as a museum virtual tour. You can see from the link at the Yarmouth Museum that they have created a clickable floor plan. As simple an idea as this is, I've never seen anyone else do this and I think it's brilliant.

So to proceed, I need to create a floor plan to a museum that I have no floor plan for.

Can anyone help me create the floor plan to the musem?

Hi Steve - just saw this post and would like to offer whatever help I am able to. I believe the floor plan is simply a graphic with clickable hotspots that link to another page - an idea that we use on our fsnb.ca page where a user can click on an image ( in our case an aircraft) and be taken to a page pertaining to that aircraft - which is one of the provincial hangers.

Let me know what I can do to help create the museum floorplan - I would assume that you have thought ablut this and have something in mind.

Thanks Harold. That's exactly what I'd like to do alright. What I need is a floorplan for the musuem and grounds. I doubt anyone has exact dimensions but if I even had rough sketch and some notes about which area was which that would be all I need for the web site.
