It was a real pleasure to share our work at the MuseumNext Digital Exhibitions Summit this week on the future of digitisation, access and preserving collections! Read the article here: "The work at The Amelia Scott demonstrates how museums can combine preservation, innovation, and audience engagement in powerful new ways. From 3D scanning and printing to mixed reality experiences, the collections team is not only future-proofing their objects but also redefining what a museum can be."

Question for the #museum & #sciencecenter hivemind: what are the characteristics that distinguish interactive exhibits from other types of exhibit. For the latter I am thinking of exhibits that are good in their own right, but cannot in all honesty be called truly interactive? #museum #museums #interactiveexhibits #visitorexperience #exhibition #exhibitiondesign

“EMΣT aims to be a continuously thinking museum, one which invigorates the imagination and stimulates new perspectives on our common reality and circumstances. It encourages us to question the status quo, think about how we behave as citizens in the public domain, and towards each other privately and socially.” https://lnkd.in/e-ukH-DG This kind of approach shows how museums can rethink their role and contribute toward cultivating a healthy civic space fueled by visitors who are learning to think critically and creatively.

How do you transform museums and attractions into unforgettable and meaningful experiences? Our director, Peter Slavenburg, highlights NorthernLight’s approach to storytelling and design in an exclusive interview in the latest issue of Attractions Management. Featuring a selection of our latest projects, including Labyrinthia at the Drents Museum, Experimenta’s Artificial Intelligence Pavilion, and The World Heritage Centre Wadden Sea.

A realistic and rather thorough set of comments/suggestions from the perspective of the vast majority of museums — although small in size, they represent a large contribution to the cultural life of our nation. Often, these are hidden jewels that add to not only rural settings but major cities where their presence shines and preserves unique perspectives. The failure to address these inherent characteristics of small museums, may often result in tragic outcomes: https://lnkd.in/gEv2zW67

Throwback to one of my favourite college assignments: rebranding the Capitoline Museums!

Reposting our recent research about Museums on ‘International Museum Day’ celebrated globally today. The central thread of the day is museums as a vital space to shape social and historical narratives as well as to celebrate diversity (UNESCO,2024). In our paper, we explore existing knowledge about digitalisation and digitisation used in museum narratives and curatorship, to demonstrate how these processes impact the role of museums and memory-making. #MuseumDay Yap, J.
