Abstract

The number of multimedia and hypermedia applications in museums is rapidly increasing. Most applications are point-of-information systems presenting additional information on artefacts which are shown in the museum or offering background knowledge on subjects covered by the museum. Publications dealing with such applications are mostly bare descriptions of contents, technical realisations or user interfaces. There are very few studies dealing with use and acceptance of such systems by visitors.
