Creating of Digital Life in Art Museums

Abstract

Digital transformation affects all segments of human life. Cultural institutions are no exception. Information and communications technologies and technological innovations are reshaping the role of museums and art galleries which are becoming an integral part of the digital society. Visitors’ expectations are changing and art museums are moving from collection-oriented to user/visitor-oriented institutions with strong interaction between individuals and museums around the world. This paper presents the use of new technologies in everyday digital life in museums. We also present the Museum of Contemporary Art of Republic of Srpska, and highlight the new challenges and opportunities that this institution expects in the digital age of the 21st century.
