Activity: Talks and presentations › Guest lecturers
Description
Today’s museums are part of a broader communications landscape, and the museum encounter is increasingly a mediated one. In a constantly evolving media landscape, most museums have developed institutional websites, and digital technologies have become an integrated part of many exhibitions. This talk will start with a presentation of earlier work on user interaction with museum technologies both online and in the physical museum. The main focus of the talk will be on an internet archive study of Danish museum websites, and both pros and cons of using archived web material will be discussed. The study exemplifies a turn towards a data driven approach to studying museum communication
