For many young adults, visiting a cultural exhibition is not high on their weekend plans.
Lack of engaging and interactive content seems to be at the forefront of their disinterest.
The National Film and Sound Archive is aware of its disconnection with younger generations and has taken measures to attract a more youthful audience.
The NFSA’s Australians and Hollywood exhibition has successfully included digital technology to create a more interactive exhibit.
Celebrating the brilliant work by Australian filmmakers, the NFSA has created content that can be curated by the audience and explored at home.
Is this the future for cultural exhibitions?
