Oldies but Goodies

Navigating the life like virtual tour of theĀ  Lost Museum was a refreshing experience. It gave me a sense of experiencing 19th century entertainment in NYC . What I got out of the whole 19th century entertainment industry was that everyone was interested in seeing things that were new and different. Things such as the 8 foot woman or the 4 footer Tom Thumb were some of the highlights of what was seen as different but extremely popular because of the attention that they received. One of the more interesting pictures that I found were that of Chang and Eng who could be thought of as the “original ” Siamese twins.

Overall the virtual tour of the Lost Museum was very interesting. at first it was a little difficult to navigate but once you get the hang of it its very easy. One of the things I liked was the clarity of the website and that it was also very fast to load.
