Recovery and Reinvention: Behind the Scenes with Walt

Recessed in alcoves beneath an undulating media ribbon, four crescent table surfaces become magical menus where visitors can discover the building blocks of stories about Walt’s creative ‘recovery and reinvention’ following World War II. Here visitors weave together stories themselves as they jump from one media element or artifact to another through a web of interconnected themes and topics. Visitors simply touch an icon on the table to view their selection on the large screen before them. Upon making a selection, related topics or tags for each item animate out to the periphery, providing opportunities to pursue personalized pathways through the entire archive. Exploratory visitors can select shuffle to serve a fresh random assortment of icons on the table, or they could access a list mode of all topics and tags for a more straightforward menu of all content within the experience.
