How can museums use technology to reach a wider global audience ? (SPECIALLY FOR PHYSICALLY DISABLED PEOPLE)

- Yes, I like going to museums.

I like to visit all kinds of museums like Historical, Art, and Science worldwide.

-Museums can use technology to reach a global audience in a variety of ways, such as-

Mobile Technology: Museums already have mobile apps, but they are now looking to expand and incorporate mobile technologies for a more personalized experience. A museum, for example, may use mobile phone technology to provide immersive guided tours and an interactive virtual experience that complements the exhibit content. And, in this coronavirus period, mobile ticketing technology speeds the procedure, reduces queues, and provides touchless payment options, which are beneficial.

 

-Yes, we can visit museums digitally, but not all museums, only a few, and some of them are listed below-

1) London's British Museum

Virtual visitors can tour the Great Court and learn about the ancient Rosetta Stone and Egyptian mummies at this landmark museum in the heart of London. On the museum's virtual tour, you may see hundreds of objects.

 

2) New York's Guggenheim Museum

Visitors may tour the Guggenheim's renowned spiral staircase using Google's Street View feature without ever leaving their homes. You can find amazing works of art from the Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, Modern, and Contemporary periods there.

 

3) Paris's Musée d'Orsay

You may take a virtual tour of this popular gallery, which displays hundreds of well-known paintings by French artists who lived and worked between 1848 and 1914. Take a look at masterpieces by Monet, Cézanne, and Gauguin, to name a few.

 

4) Seoul's National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art is a must-see.

One of Korea's most prominent museums is open to visitors from all over the world. Google's virtual tour takes you on a journey through six stories of contemporary art from around the world.

 

5) Berlin's Pergamon Museum

As one of Germany's largest museums, Pergamon has a lot to offer - even if you can't visit it. The Ishtar Gate of Babylon and, of course, the Pergamon Altar are among the many ancient treasures on display at this historical museum.

 

6) Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum.

Masterworks from the Dutch Golden Age, including pieces by Vermeer and Rembrandt, are on display. Google provides a Street View tour of this historical museum, allowing you to walk around its halls like you're truly there.

 

Technological advances based on the internet

Museums can utilize the Internet to distribute products and services as well as communicate and promote themselves. Online distribution in Romanian museums is normally free; museums offer virtual visits and access to various educational and informational tools.
Electronics stores that sell a variety of goods. The Heritage Museum, for example, offers goods online all around the world. The Internet can also be used to promote a museum's mission and events and stimulate public attendance and participation in the museum's activities.

Visiting museums has been challenging for persons who are blind or partially sighted due to exhibits being placed in glass cases, which provide a barrier to entry. Many museums worldwide offer some accessibility, but what happens when a museum considers the issue holistically and considers blind and partially sighted visitors just as essential as everyone else?

 

The Victoria & Albert Museum in London has attempted to adopt a holistic approach to accessibility by examining what hinders blind and partially sighted tourists from visiting a museum and how such an audience may be better served.

A focused approach that considers the items and a museum-wide strategy are essential to enable equitable access for all visitors. The museum analyses how it might improve the visitor experience by removing physical barriers, offering staff training, providing touch artifacts and tactile publications, and looking to the future to see how technology can help.

The V&A has also aided its quest to becoming more accessible by hiring a blind person with its first Disability and Access Officer, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change from the inside.
