<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The Alberni Valley Museum is considering adding digital interactive components to our permanent exhibition. The idea is to add a few different digital tools to pilot test them and see what works with our audience. That
will help us figure out a long-term plan for expanding our use of interactive digital components.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
