    Hello all,

    I'm doing research on current online museum experiences and would love to hear of any particularly innovative immersive or interactive exhibition/educational/other online museum experiences that you have created/encountered recently. 

    Thanks so much! I look forward to your input.

    Uma, Shalini, and Jared,

    Thanks so much! I am looking forward to exploring these examples. And, Jared, you're right, it's good to look outside the sector also.

    Hi Phyllis,

    The Getty sites are the only ones I'm familiar with from the responses you've received so far and they are really exceptional! 

    I wanted to add Map Academy - https://mapacademy.io - a magnificent resource for discovering South Asian art.

    All best,

    Robin

    Hi Phyllis,

    You might want to consider incorporating augmented reality (AR) into your online experience too. It's a great way to add an interactive 3D element that creates a greater sense of personalization and connection for the user. This can be done using web-based AR, social media-based AR (Instagram or Snapchat), or a dedicated app if your museum already has one.  And adding QR codes at the relevant points in your online experience. Here is an example of an AR experience we created recently for the Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI) in Seattle for their From the Ground Up: Black Architects and Designers exhibit using Snapchat. You can click here to try it.  Or you can watch the video here to get an idea of the experience. Feel free to reach out for additional examples or assistance.

    My pleasure.  Here are a few more links to projects that might provide some inspiration.  They were more of a "taking the museum to the streets" but could be combined with or incorporated into an online experience via AR, VR or metaverse capabilities.

    Hi Phyllis,

    We work with many museums to design and develop their online experience and websites. Here are a few recent examples of work that might help inspire you!

    Hope this helps!

    Those Getty digital experiences are way cool! Here are a couple of lower budget online exhibits from the Arizona State Museum:

    Wrapped in Color: Legacies of the Saltillo Sarape exhibit: Wrapped in Color: Legacies of the Mexican Sarape

    It's Up 2 You! comic book with voices: It's Up 2 You!

    And an augmented reality geographically dispersed series of exhibits in the community: Discovering Community in the Borderlands

    I'd love to see what others are doing. On Saturday at AAM, I'm part of panel about digital engagement in museums. Come join us!

    Hi Phyllis

    This is not a museum experience, but it's a museum subject. It was built by an individual.

    I just wanted to thank all the other colleges for their posts, it is very inspiring.

    Phyllis,

    At the Lowe Art Museum we created Hidden Stories New Voices, an online digital interactive. This online exhibition offers interpretative clues and background information related to 12 works of art in the Lowe's Samuel H. Kress Collection of European Renaissance and Baroque art. Most importantly, it provides a platform for non-specialists to share their thoughts and ideas about the highlighted works; particularly as they are related to contemporary lived experience.

    Hi Phyllis,

    Lots of interesting examples you're collecting!

    The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum has recently launched some updates and extensions to its web presence that you may find interesting. It is not a single, stand-alone immersive/interactive site, but continuing our shared vision of a rich discovery ecosystem that is, in its own way, immersive. The aim is to provide entry points that prompt explorations and 'aha' insights.

    The Collections Online site (https://collections.okeeffemuseum.org/) integrates the various collections: art (from O'Keeffe and others), archives, personal library, personal belongings, and thousands of people/organizations connected with O'Keeffe. Images are all very high resolution with deep zoom, using IIIF. All pages in the collections site provide relationship connections among the different assets – it is particularly interesting to traverse from an artwork to correspondence from the same period, often about that work, then traverse to the people involved with her at that time. All the data is available for each record, and overall as a linked data download.

    A recent addition is a complete exhibition history from 1915. Individual exhibitions include publications and archival materials. The exhibition histories include all the artworks from each exhibition – for artworks held by other institutions, each one links out to that institution's object page, extending exploration further to over 100 institutions.

    You will see in some relationships a "Mentioned In" section. This is a new feature, with an inaugural digital publication, Exhibiting O'Keeffe. All the artworks, archives, exhibitions and people/organizations in the publication link back to the collection records. There is also a Data Index in the publication that links entities to mentions in each chapter and to their records in the collections site. This cross-referencing will be expanded over time for other publications and interpretive materials.

    We are always interested in feedback and understanding how the site is used.

    I hope this is useful! Duane
