Every year more galleries and museums are digitizing collections and investing in making digital experiences available for their visitors. These opportunities give them the chance to find new audiences, appeal to younger generations and distribute more artworks to buyers.
Challenge: technology is expensive
The main challenge is the cost. Most of the time, the projects are dropped due to costs involved. Museums and galleries decide to invest in developers to create apps, VR displays and touch-screen kiosks. But a few years later, they often cannot keep up with updates, cannot pay the developers again or can’t find the new equipment.
With technology, institutions need new hires
Museums need digital directors, people specialized in the IT or communications field. These Digital Experience Directors, or Directors of Digital Shift, report directly to the senior museum leadership and might not be in touch with other departments. Sometimes, instead of finding their way, they struggle within the organization.
How can museums and galleries go digital while keeping costs low?
There are ways to adapt to new technologies and stay on a budget. One of the best ways to do it is to take something already professionally developed, instead of hiring new people to develop an app, especially for the gallery or museum.
