Key Partner session: Ethnographic Museum - Digital ethnography moves into the real world
07.08, 11:30–11:55 (Poland), Dilijan (3) (interpretation)
Language: English

Partner session: Ethnographic Museum / lecture


The digitisation of cultural assets, including museum collections, has become a priority objective in many countries. It is supported by governments through numerous grant programmes. The digital universe of culture broadens our horizons, gives us new research perspectives and access to many new sources. However, it does not exhaust the possibilities of using digitised materials. Making the collections widely accessible, which is now the primary mission of museums, can bring real-world results: human contact, sensory experiences and the simple joy of singing.
