Museum has a great importance in preserving the national legacy, connecting the success generation, consolidating the culture and spreading the past and the present cultures. The success in spreading cultures through museum depends on the importance of the exhibited articles, also on the techniques of museum display methods, the facility of moving through passages to the different showrooms. Information technology has changed man –knowledge map, and gives all arts the chance for a different innovation. It greatly affects developing of museum display methods through the interaction concept. Also new technology has represented chances for developing used methods in museum through the participation concept, and moving the design from the second and third dimension to deeper dimension with deeper interaction with man. Interactive display methods are important means for attracting attention, effectively exhibiting the articles, and explaining the aim and message of the museum in a good manner. Its basis has been inspired by the traditional exhibition basis but with applying the interaction techniques as well as the visitor's interaction with the exhibited articles. Inspite of the great progress in the digital revolution and the great effort exerted in developing museums and museum exhibition, the Egyptian museum could not cope with the international museums as far as applying the interaction in the design of museum exhibition techniques.
