The Lost Museum is a virtual reality of P.T. Barnum’s American Museum in New York City. This interactive website showed me a realistic perspective of the mid-19th century. Many people think that this museum burned down due to a fire, but there are many different theories and controversies about this idea. I thought that this website was extremely interesting based on its use of 3-D visualizations as a tool for learning and teaching. Essentially, I am a visual learner which is why I enjoyed my experience with this source of technology. This source was an extremely convenient way to successfully learn about this ancient time period. I think that this form of technology is definitely an extremely productive way for learning. I would much rather use technology as a source of information, rather than reading a book. The Lost Museum recreated an ancient time period, which was extremely cool. Ultimately, I think that this tool should be shared with all students and teachers.
