hands-on displays
Participatory museum features
Hands-on displays are exhibits designed to be touched, manipulated, or interacted with rather than simply observed.
Common in science museums and children's museums, they let visitors learn through direct engagement: The hands-on displays let kids experiment with magnets and pulleys.
The term distinguishes interactive exhibits from traditional look-but-don't-touch museum presentations.
