Case Study: Stuhr Museum brings history to life with storytelling using ThingLink

Stuhr Museum brings history to life with ThingLink in 3 storytelling use cases

The Stuhr Museum, a Nebraska-based institution focused on sharing the collective human experience, sought to enhance visitors' emotional connection and understanding of historical events through powerful storytelling. To achieve this, the museum utilized ThingLink's Scenario Builder product to create an immersive, branched learning experience.

Using ThingLink, the Stuhr Museum developed an interactive resource based on the "Schoolchildren's Blizzard," allowing learners to move through a scenario and make decisions reflecting the same choices made by historical figures. This solution successfully brought history to life by placing artifacts within a compelling narrative framework. ThingLink enabled the museum to fulfill its mission of connecting visitors with empathy and demonstrating that history was about actual people, significantly enhancing the immersive and memorable quality of the visitor experience.
