National Civil Rights Museum plans more interactive exhibits (via USA Today)

Many of the exhibits at the museum (Located at the Lorraine Motel where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968) rely heavily on time lines, newspaper clippings and other reading material. Renovations are barely in the planning stages, but Wright says the museum does intend to add technological elements to appeal to younger generations raised on video games and computers. On the other hand, the institution does not want to lose older visitors or overshadow its mission as a history, not a science, museum.
