Embedding interactive technology into museum installations can provide many benefits for visitors as well as for curators. At the same time it is a challenging task from the design as well as from the technical perspective. In this paper we present a set of physical components that can be easily combined to interactive installations. These are a projector lamp, a circular plinth that senses objects in its vicinity as well as a RFID reader / wrist-band combination. We describe a set of interesting uses cases for interactive exhibitions that can be realized using these components. Further, we introduce a centralized approach that allows an easy mesh up of heterogeneous components as well as a programming approach that is targeting non-technical users and experts at the same time.
