"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:
“People who don’t know how to keep themselves healthy ought to have the decency to get themselves buried, and not waste time about it.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
“Nothing shall warp me from the belief that every man is a lover of truth. There is no pure lie, no pure malignity in nature. The entertainment of the proposition of depravity is the last profligacy and profanation. There is no scepticism, no atheism but that. Could it be received into common belief, suicide would unpeople the planet.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I have great faith in ‘ordinary parents.’ Who has a child’s welfare more at heart than his ordinary parent? It’s been my experience that when parents are given the skills to be more helpful, not only are they able to use these skills, but they infuse them with a warmth and a style that is uniquely their own.”
—Haim Ginott (20th century)
