Description
Lincoln's ghost?
This photograph vividly illustrates some of the special effects used at the Lincoln Museum to enhance visitors' experience. Numerous historians were consulted -- the aim was to balance engagement with historical accuracy.
The new museum uses 21st-century technology to bring the 19th century to life -- hence the showmanship with the scholarship.
