The
Burghley House in England sent an exquisite exhibit
of art pieces to the United States. It was shown at
the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. Here are the main screens
created to introduce this important exhibit.
What
they call a house most of us would call a castle. You
can see it in the background of this main navigational
screen. There are four categories covered;The House, The
Family, The Collection, and The Museum.
This
was a fun interface; it is a map of one floor of the great
house. When you click on a colored room you're taken to
a main page for that room. This may include a movie clip,
and hidden clues to find as you move the mouse over the
page.
We
highlighted six prominent member of the Burghley family.
When you move the mouse over each portrait a personal
screen would appear with more information about that individual.
Inside
the Collection navigational page there are five main categories
of art pieces; Paintings, Furniture, Sculptures, and Ceramics.
Pointing to one of the categories will start an interactive
slide show that allows you to view all the items in that
category. Choose any item when it appears in the slide
show and the show pauses to give you details about that
item.
