Digital Media for the Preparation, Implementation and Follow-up of the Museum Visit Sense, Superfluity or Nonsense?

Digital media are an indispensable instrument of museum communication with the public. But which content and technologies are useful for information before, during and after a museum visit? How can museums, exhibits and collections be conveyed virtually to target groups? How has the digital commitment of museums developed in times of crisis? What is the significance of the digital for museum education? In their joint session, the two specialist committees discover and discuss their interfaces.

Call for Papers: One paper only, on the topic „Augmented and Virtual Reality as Means of Cultural Mediation“

Therefore, MPR has realized narrative interviews with representatives all over the world.The results are highly interesting interview films.
