Time Travel
This list of the 25 best time travel books of all time reminded me of the extraordinary premise of Connie Willis's Doomsday Book: that in the future historians will have the ability to travel back in time to conduct research. I find the thought to be intriguing in terms of how to present history to a population that is visually-oriented. You don't just read about a period of time, you visit the place. [In Doomsday Book, the time travelers to the 1300s have their noses treated so they won't be overcome by the smell.]
If you are running a museum, do you turn it - at least partially - into a theme park to convey the feel of the times? Consider what may be done with special effects. Some museums have already gone in this direction.
