Museum, exhibitions and research - the new website puts the spotlight firmly on the three central pillars of the Natural History Museum. The design has also undergone a significant change. The new website is user-friendly and has a contemporary design. The Museum of Natural History Vienna is one of the world's foremost museums of the natural sciences. Its oldest collections were compiled over 250 years ago. But this is no reason not to move with the times. The new-look website is the perfect gateway to discovering the fascinating exhibits. Large-scale, no background pictures give an idea of the valuable exhibits. Apart from an overhaul of the content and graphic presentation the site now boasts particular highlights such as the floor plan of the museum which makes it easier than ever to find your way round the various halls. The event pages also act as an attractive incentive to visit the museum.
The various options are sortable by category to enable visitors to find details about their favourite activity quickly and easily, from a night visit to the museum to a full range of children’s activities. checkpointmedia was responsible for consultancy, planning and editing the content and technical implementation using the JART Content Management System. The next phase of developing the website will include the addition of an online shop and ticket reservations.
