Abstract	A wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of spatially distributed autonomous sensors to monitor physical or environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, vibration, pressure, motion or pollutants and to cooperatively pass their data through the network to a main location. The more modern WSNs are bi-directional, also enabling control of sensor activity. The development of WSNs was motivated by military applications such as battlefield surveillance; today such networks are used in many industrial and consumer applications, such as industrial process monitoring and control, machine health monitoring, and so on. The possibilities for WSNs have excited scientists and researchers, the business community, military and government officials, and consumers alike for many years. The potential applications for WSNs and transducers (sensors combined with actuator mechanisms) are limited only by the imagination. Sensing alone is not enough for many applications—the ability to act on the sensory data is also required. A small, battery-powered platform capable of actuation is needed. This paper discusses the experiences with the implementation of WSN in bringing new content to museum visitors, making the visit more interesting and thus, attracting more visitors. Visit to a museum will become a much more interesting and fun. On the other hand, exhibits in the museum would be under better control and a lot safer. Every smallest change in temperature and light in the exhibit's surroundings or movement of exhibit piece would be automatically detected.
