Hi all
Another couple to throw into the mix:
*PiPresents *https://pipresents.wordpress.com/
a toolkit for producing interactive multimedia applications for museums,
visitor centres, and more.
I've installed this to have a play with - but not used in Museum yet!
*OpenFrame* http://openframe.io/
is a platform for displaying digital art
I only recently found out about this one - so not even tried running it -
but planning on playing with it for a project next month (so might know
more by then).
Cheers
