However, this is hardly a staid stroll through display cases and wall hangings. With this exhibit, the hall is hoping to entertain, educate and enlighten. For the first time, visitors can be included in the show with the launch of an interactive project where fans can share photos
-- the hall has lifted a ban on picture-taking in the exhibit -- and other memorabilia at a multimedia display and online. Fans can upload images to Twitter and Instagram with the hashtag (hash)rockhallsatisfaction to contribute. "This gave us an opportunity to engage the fans a little bit more," said Todd Mesek, vice president of communications. "'OK, show us your experience with the Stones. Show us your tickets, show us your set lists, show us your concert photos. What we're also doing with our new photo policy is letting fans take shots in here and send it out to the world, let them be a part of it." The exhibit includes three iPad-based interactive kiosks where visitors can put on a pair of headphones and hear the band's early blues influences, explore the Jagger-Richards songwriting team and see how the band melded influences into its one-of-a-kind sound. "We wanted to take visitors deeper into the sounds of the Stones and their music and hear it in a way they've never heard it before," said Jason Hanley, the hall's director of education. "... We had to think about
'how do we get 50 years of music into three different stations?' So we came up with the idea of focusing on them as real innovators who were always looking at the world around them and pulling in new things." ___ Online:
