This paper focuses on how a single installation can enhance personalization of the information in cultural heritage museums and enhance the overall experience using interactive digital storytelling and the ability to touch artefacts. Interaction design methods helped establish best practices centring on usability. In the process low- fidelity and mid-fidelity prototypes were created based on the field studies such as obeservations in exhibits and interviewing professionals in different museums. The conclusion could be made that artefact and the purpose of the exhibit as an whole does get more intense if one has the opportunity to touch and make it part of the visitors journey can be said.
