Increasing access to Private Art Collections
Emily and I had connected back in the fall of 2020 through the Museum Computer Network conference and we had finally found a time that worked for both of our schedules to talk about our visions for our careers and the muse-tech industry.
At that time, she was waiting to hear back from the Frick about the more public launch of Global Art Access (GAA). GAA is an educational non-profit dedicated to the digitization of private collections for the purposes of scholarship and public accessibility.
Digital Literacy and Social Impact of Cultural Programming
The panelists at the December 2020 symposium explored how visual art, heritage objects and music can trigger memories and creativity in older adults and improve community and family connections. Several museum workers were interested in providing 3D images of their collections for memory boxes.
Digital Readiness and Innovation in Museums

This data includes art museums (30%), historic institutions and sites (38%), science museums (11%) and others.
