"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:
“The best protection parents can have against the nightmare of a daycare arrangement where someone might hurt their child is to choose a place that encourages parents to drop in at any time and that facilitates communication among parents using the program. If parents are free to drop in and if they exercise this right, it is not likely that adults in that place are behaving in ways that harm children.”
—Gwen Morgan (20th century)
“Much of what Mr. Wallace calls his global thinking is, no matter how you slice it, still “globaloney.” Mr. Wallace’s warp of sense and his woof of nonsense is very tricky cloth out of which to cut the pattern of a post-war world.”
—Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)
“One year, I’d completely lost my bearings trying to follow potty training instruction from a psychiatric expert. I was stuck on step on, which stated without an atom of irony: “Before you begin, remove all stubbornness from the child.” . . . I knew it only could have been written by someone whose suit coat was still spotless at the end of the day, not someone who had any hands-on experience with an actual two-year-old.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
