Vision for Museums

Visions for Museums (V4M) explores the ways in which digital technologies may develop and enhance visitor engagement with museums of art, culture, history and science. It aims to be a center for interdisciplinary research and practice, regarding visitor-oriented new media in museum communication and to establish a new area for research and practice: digital museum communication.

Museum research has not traditionally been oriented towards aspects of communication and visitor-orientation, two important starting points for employing and developing digital media in public environments. It has become increasingly clear that the need for interdisciplinary research within this field is important.
