Journal: Arts Studies and Criticism DOI: 10.32629/asc.v6i3.4158
Abstract
Museums need to adapt to a rapidly changing community to meet the needs of audiences. Some museums attempt to integrate digital technology into institutions, providing audiences with innovative ways to interact with artworks. This study examines specific cases to analyze how museums leverage approaches such as online access and handheld interactive devices to expand their audience beyond the museum. It evaluates the effectiveness and feasibility of these cases, providing insights for potential future applications.
