The Virtual Museum Project: Transcending Barriers, Engaging New Audiences
Presented by Jennifer Beyer - Researcher, Museum Studies Program, University of Michigan
The Virtual Museum Project involves collaboration with the University’s science museums, exploring the use of virtual media and physical artifacts to increase visitors’ engagement with collections. The project explores the magic of encountering “real” things while providing visitors with greater control over where, when and how they experience museum objects.
