The Diplomatic Reception Rooms Collection Experience
The Diplomatic Reception Rooms are a magnificent collection of art and objects that showcase American heritage and support our nation’s diplomacy.
Bluecadet designed and developed a suite of interactive educational features to help the Diplomatic Reception Room team bring their incredible resources to teachers and students around the country.
The Declaration of Independence, and Benjamin Franklin’s incredible draft of it, are some of the nation’s most important documents. During their visits, foreign diplomats are given tours of these rare documents. Bluecadet designed a feature to replicate that experience online for everyone.

Using 3D scanned geometry models, Bluecadet created interactive tours of collection objects, enabling students to explore the stories hidden in the details.

An advanced collections search gives visitors of all ages easy access to DRR’s entire collection. To be sure this was a scalable feature for the museum, Bluecadet integrated with eMuseums’ API, which exports DRR’s collection straight from TMS, their collection management tool.

Designed to bring history to life for students, teachers, and the general public, timeline and exhibition templates make it easy for DRR’s educators to show visitors how their collection relates to important historical events, themes, and moments in early American history.
