Art/Literary - Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. / Museum Exhibition

Spanish term or phrase: plafón dinamizado

SPAIN: Last sentence of a text about an exhibition on Africa in a museum. I'll supply the previous para to appease the context naggers. I don't see how this can be anything to do with a lamp. :
"Primero nos acercaremos a África, pero no para reflejar fielmente el continente, sino que más bien queremos representar determinados aspectos de la vida en Senegal que podrían ser extensibles al resto de África, al mismo tiempo que reflejaremos el sentir del continente negro. Después acompañaremos en el viaje a las personas que migran y veremos los cambios que este conlleva, tanto para sus protagonistas como para sus seres queridos. Mostraremos las dificultades que tienen estas personas para iniciar una nueva vida cuando llegan a Europa, cómo viven y sueñan, y de dónde sacan fuerzas para continuar adelante.
La exposición acaba con un extenso ***plafón dinamizado*** que funciona como resumen y conclusión de lo visitado, en el que se hace especial insistencia en la convivencia intercultural."

The client doesn't know what it means either, so this will do nicely, even if "dynamic" is meaningless to me here. Thanks to everyone for the help :-)

Notes to answerer

Asker: It does, although I do find this an unusual way to express "panel"...

1 hr confidence:

dynamic panel

Explanation:
Panel as ¨plafón¨

Example sentence(s):

¨Stata 10 now has a suite of commands for dynamic panel-data analysis...¨

Asker: An unusual way to translate "panel", no? Sounds correct though...

an animated display / animated display panel

Explanation:
I think the word “dinámica” could be translated as “animated” and that the “plafón” (probably a display panel) could be left as just “display”. See the following examples:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_Museum_of_Natural_History
Animated display of ocean life during the Cambrian Period (there’s a picture of a panel here)

http://www.memphismuseums.org/exhibit-13073/
Other new screens show an animated display of every earthquake from 1960 through the present and live earthquakes in the central United States.

http://blog.taragana.com/e/2009/06/21/greeces-new-acropolis-...
The digital animated display on the museum walls ended years of delays and wrangling over the ultramodern building, set among apartment blocks and elegant neoclassical houses at the foot of the Acropolis hill.

http://www.igougo.com/attractions-reviews-b7279-Toronto-Bata...
The exhibit includes an impressive selection of Chinese silk shoes, haute couture pumps as well as an animated display of celebrity shoes in the "Star Turns" miniature theatre.

http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2007/02/07/tech-museum.ht...
Visitors to the hall are met at the entrance by three skeletons — a chimpanzee, a Neanderthal and a modern human — in front of an animated display that shows cells and other genetic material.

Sorry, I meant to say "dinamizado" could be translated as "animated".
Another option might be "dynamic animated display".
