Possibly just because it’s a dinosaur museum, but I have very fond memories of trying to rebuild dinosaurs from bones and the like on the computer exhibits, which now that I think about it, must have been pretty cutting edge for about 10 years ago.

When I first think about what I’d prefer, I’d say the computer over the pelts because I would feel the computer was more interactive and involved more of my senses. But on further reflection and dependent upon the quality of the display, the pelts might involve just as many senses (more because I could use the sense of smell). So I’d have to admit that the computer is more attractive because it’s passive and structured (sigh).

You might want to take a poll of your fellow field-trippers to see what they prefer.
