Digital technology plays a very important role in informal learning environment. From portable handhold device, which was first introduced to the museum setting in 1952, to personal digital assistants (PDA), the aspects of technology have enhanced both visitors and learners’ learning experiences and outcomes within different cultural institutions, such as art museum, aquarium, and science and history museum. This article explores the ways that how different cultural institutions utilize technology to enhance museum visitors’ needs and expectations. This article discusses different types of digital technology currently adapted in three different cultural institutions located in metropolitan Atlanta area in the United States. These three cultural institutions are: High Museum of Art, World of Coca Cola, and Georgia Aquarium. Through examining Falk and Dierking’s (2000) Contextual Model of Learning and the perspectives of digital technology, this study tends to extend the scope and scale of visitors’ and learners’ museum experiences. This descriptive study involves on-site field experiences, in person interviews with visitors, documentations, and random surveys of visitors.
