Francesco Morawetz is restoring three 16th century buildings in Venice to create a private club and luxury residences called Palazzo Trevisan-Cappello. Rather than selling an extensive collection of artistic glass that came with the property, he decided to open a Museum of 20th Century Glass for the public. The restoration will transform the buildings into 26 apartments decorated with priceless glass objects, available for the exclusive use of no more than 260 club members. In addition to the residences and museum, membership will provide access to private air transportation and the club's yacht and launch.

The online presentation of an art museum's collection can impact the collection and its management in several ways. Making collections accessible online requires digitizing artworks, which allows for improved registration processes. It also enables broader access to pieces through digital exhibitions and tools that aid research. However, digitization is resource-intensive and presenting selections online influences how curators develop exhibitions and prioritize collection care.

Museum Collections on Wikipedia: Opening Up to Open Data Initiatives
The Web has become an important source of information, made possible by structured data. Open linked data enables ubiquitous presence as machines increasingly filter our views—via preferred search engines, the knowledge graph, or Siri—particularly of content found in Wikidata. In this paper, we identify paintings in Wikidata and analyze their usage in the English Wikipedia to find substantial impact. Our results provide evidence that publication of collections as open data facilitate an increase in views, enriched data, automatic translation, and magnified visibility. We find that the usage of paintings and views present a long-tail structure with an underrepresentation of contemporary paintings. Collaborations between museums and Wikimedia yield increased impact, yet projects are unsustainable. We propose an adjusted work-flow to accommodate for Wikimedia projects and amplify the impact of opening museum collections data.
