Wandering through an exhibit or museum is both entertaining and educational. The beauty of a museum is that you can expand the breadth and depth of your knowledge about a subject while going at your own pace and never walking around in circles. SpicyNodes can bring an online exhibit or informational kiosk to life in the same way, providing your visitors with a exploratory journey through virtually any subject.
SpicyNodes was created by IDEA, which also curates several online exhibits. Take a tour of the WebExhibits that feature implementations of SpicyNodes.
