Museums in the Digital Age

by Mark Tebeau | January 23rd, 2010

Web 2.0 is beginning to change how museums operate–both in terms of building constituencies and collections. It is not merely about putting exhibits up, but far more complicated. Still, I wonder if museums’ understandings of the web as an interpretive tool will change how they build exhibits. Will they make full use of digital spaces? Will it reshape how they exhibit objects or store them?
