The National Civil War Centre, Newark Museum


The Client
The National Civil War Centre, Newark Museum, opened in 2015 with funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, combines interactive exhibitions and events to engage its many visitors and student days.

The Challenge
The reception area of the museum needed a secure and engaging way to interact with clients and show off the facilities and exhibitions on at the centre. The reception area is very modern and minimalists, requiring the tablet enclosures to blend into the informational area, whilst remaining a focal point.

Our Thinking
Our Shell 10 Slim Tablet Enclosure, can securely enclose the centre’s chosen tablet, Samsung S2 9.7”, and is highly suited for high traffic areas, having originally been designed for a large fast food retailer. The enclosures aesthetics ensure that they fit the brand of the company, whilst encouraging users to interact with the tablet and the information on show.
The Benefits of Museum & Gallery Kiosks
Grab Attention
Another way to convey an engaging story with museum kiosks is to create video displays that complement your exhibit. Video displays help to create a richer experience and serve as an excellent tool for education too.
Make Exhibits Easy to Explore
Create enticing digital wayfinding with museum kiosks. Digital signage improves the flow of the visitor’s journey and helps them to personalise their museum experience based on their own interests.

Boost Donations
If you’re looking to increase donations at your museum, our digital kiosks have the option to be mounted onto a collection box. With the addition of a POS integration, visitors can make donations with ease by cash or card.
Create a Multi-Channel Experience
Multi-channel museum kiosks allow museums to:
Collect visitor feedback – Kiosk surveys are a useful way to gather in-the-minute feedback from visitors and help improve future exhibits. Use museum kiosks to gather feedback on activities, exhibits and facilities to pinpoint any frustrations that might prevent future visits.
Link to websites & newsletters – Allow visitors to discover more about your museum on your website and signing up to the newsletter. Make sure to promote upcoming exhibits and events and allow visitors to shop online and facilitate online donations.
Encourage Post-Visit Interaction
Maintain visitor engagement even once they’ve left the museum with downloadable resources. With device integration, our custom museum kiosks can be used with QR scanners so visitors can scan a QR code and take information home with them.
Provide Visitors with More Information
When we want to learn more about something, many of us are quick to turn to a quick Google search. Keep visitors off their mobile phones and engaged with interactive information via touch screen museum kiosks.
Museum touch screen displays are also used to translate information, which is vital if your museum attracts tourists from around the world. Through translating information about the exhibit or display, visitors can follow the cultural journey without exclusion.
