Digital technology allows museums to reach more people, encourage participation, and offer interactivity. It expands access to collections through online platforms. Visitors can participate by contributing content or interacting in online exhibitions. Technology also makes collections more interactive through virtual tours, games, apps and simulations that bring exhibits to life. Museums are using these digital strengths to create 21st century experiences.
