Museums: We Have Never Been (Post)digital – The Distant Sound of Trumpets. Guess what: Your museum won’t have to worry about digital anymore! It’s a nice thought, but as they say, don’t quit your day-job. Museums are starting to move beyond digital as a separate field, or at least should be. This notion (in slightly different forms) is making the rounds and is clearly striking a strong chord. The Met, in their October 2015 blog entry “Next Steps in the Met’s Digital Evolution”, speak of preparing for a postdigital world and the need to take steps “that respond to the inevitable growth of digital-related roles and responsibilities in the organization to the point where digital is no longer something ‘special’ but a mainstream business activity”.
Kajsa Hartig of Stockholm’s Nordiska Museet in her predictions for 2016 speaks of museums moving towards a post-digital condition requiring organizational change and the need for a unified channel strategy beyond a digital/analogue divide. Now, of you’re like me, this will be sweet music to your ears. A digital department? How self-styled trouble maker Mar Dixon makes museums more people friendly – Creative Review.
Axiell ALM Digitise Museums Report. Blog. Kundenbindung im Museum: für jedes Publikumssegment ein eigenes Angebot. Wer viel einkauft und das in vielen verschiedenen Geschäften, der kennt sie, die Kundenkarte. Das Ziel einer solchen Karte muss nicht erklärt werden, nur der Weg, wie man aus einem Kunden einen treuen Kunden macht, sieht von Geschäft zu Geschäft anders aus. Im Kunst- und Kulturbereich gibt es so etwas natürlich auch. Sie können in einem Museum eine Jahreskarte erwerben und so oft Sie wollen, die Ausstellungen besuchen. Sie können ein Theater-, Opern- oder Konzertabo erwerben und haben neben den finanziellen Vorteilen auch noch die Wahl, was Sie sich anschauen bzw.
-hören. Und dann gibt es da noch die “Freunde” der jeweiligen Kultureinrichtung. Freunde, das sind eigentlich diejenigen, die die jeweilige Einrichtung unterstützen möchten, dafür einen Jahresbeitrag zahlen und dafür bestimmte Vergünstigungen erhalten. Sehr interessant ist daher die Idee des Whitney Museums in New York, in dem zeitgenössische amerikanische Kunst ausgestellt wird. Deshalb auch das Forschungsprojekt, denn: Open Source Collaboration in Museum Exhibit Design | Lilia Ziamou. In the last few years, audience participation and collaboration has been an increasingly discussed topic among museum professionals worldwide.
Emerging technologies and the open source movement provide an opportunity for new forms of collaboration, namely collaboration among individuals with different areas of expertise using an online platform. In this blog post, I briefly describe two open source initiatives that focus on collaboration in Museum Exhibit Design, and share my conversation with Bob Ketner, an independent curator and an expert on open source collaboration methods, who was actively involved in both initiatives. Open Exhibits Open Exhibits, an initiative sponsored by the National Science Foundation, is a multi-touch, multi-user tool kit for creating custom interactive exhibits. The tool kit is free to museums, educators and non-profit institutions. Lilia, when The Tech Open Source was started it focused on the emerging technology of virtual world platforms. Thank you.

Teachers Teaching art online is, well…an art! Treasures Of course, museums are full of them, but my “treasures” are more than collection objects—they include rarely seen materials from the archives, the expertise of art conservators, recordings of interviews with artists, and the knowledge of staff from all parts of the Museum.
