NHS wanted a similar look and feel to the text panels to give the exhibit ? viewed in three consecutive rooms of the museum ? cohesiveness and urge the visitor to read the next panel. This was achieved by uniform panel design and the use of complimentary colors on the panels. Observations of visitors in the gallery during the exhibit installation have shown the keen interest people have in learning ?what?s next? and reading the story from panel to panel. The desire to read more of the story has led to more time being spent in the museum by visitors.
The hope is that a deeper appreciation of the town and the heroes of the story will remain in the forefront of visitors? minds after viewing the exhibit in its entirety. As of yet, that outcome is untested as the exhibit has not officially opened to the public yet.
