Each built heritage artifact possesses multiple types of information, varying from simple, factual aspects to more complexqualitative and tacit qualities and values like the architectural symbolism of a monument. This paper investigates howtangible interaction can enable the communication of qualitative information of built heritage to lay visitors. Through acomparative, field study in a real-world museum context, we examined how the tangible characteristics of an interactiveprototype museum installation influence how visitors perceive a particular story. The communicated story relates ahistorical journey in ancient Egypt to the physical and architectural characteristics of the entrance colonnade at theDjoser Complex in Saqqara. The first preliminary findings indicate how tangible interaction is able to engage museumvisitors more to accomplish additional efforts, facilitating a vivid understanding of cultural values and architecturalqualities of built heritage.
