RALEIGH -- As of today, fans of the long-running N.C. Museum of History exhibit on health and healing in this state can revisit the experience online.

The project is a collaboration between the museum and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina, which is the oldest and largest health insurance firm in the state.

The sprawling exhibit was dismantled almost a year ago, but the insurance company recorded the health and healing attraction in photos, video and sound as a gift to the museum in celebration of the company's 75th anniversary.

Blue Cross and the museum also will develop lesson plans along with the Web site for students in the fourth and eighth grades, who study North Carolina history.

SEE: A permanent digital history of health care in North Carolina, organized chronologically and by topic.

HAVE FUN: It's interactive.
