Abstract

Various research have recognised that the museum plays a vital role in opening the path for broader learning experience while expanding knowledge to the general public. Recent technological advances have influenced many museum administrations developed strong interests in integrating cutting-edge technologies in progressing along with the leisure industries. Nevertheless, there are contrasting views between the Malaysian and Western perspectives on the exhibition approaches and for visitors’ learning experience. Therefore, it is essential to identify emerging issues on museum exhibition design to integrate digital storytelling with information visualisation. Through adopting a qualitative method and descriptive-exploratory approach, this study revealed a knowledge gap based on literature review over a five-year period. The major contrasting view between the Malaysian and Western perspective is on the effective and meaningful ideas in creating extensive and highly developed future exhibition. Findings from this study can be used to formulate a digital storytelling approach with information visualisation in museum exhibition design.
