"Time Warp" Experience
Jorvik Viking Centre is not billed as a museum but as an “experience;” this type of educational representation of the past, known as a “Time Warp” experience, has become increasingly popular with the creation of Jorvik. It inspired other such sites as the “Canterbury Pilgrims Way” where you join Geoffrey Chaucer's pilgrimage. The BBC has called this experience “a new art form”, although some have criticized it as a “pop-up book view of history.”

Famous quotes containing the words time, warp and/or experience:
“Since time immemorial, one the dry earth, scraped to the bone, of this immeasurable country, a few men travelled ceaselessly, they owned nothing, but they served no one, free and wretched lords in a strange kingdom. Janine did not know why this idea filled her with a sadness so soft and so vast that she closed her eyes. She only knew that this kingdom, which had always been promised to her would never be her, never again, except at this moment.”
—Albert Camus 1013–1960, French-Algerian novelist, dramatist, philosopher. Janine in Algeria, in The Fall, p. 27, Gallimard (9157)
“Cursed be the social wants that sin against the strength of youth!
Cursed be the social lies that warp us from the living truth!”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“Every theory is a self-fulfilling prophecy that orders experience into the framework it provides.”
—Ruth Hubbard (b. 1924)
