The Book

How digital media changed museums.

Digital media has changed how museums create exhibitions, market themselves, and raise funds. COVID-19 accelerated that change, including the move to online programming. Digital Museums 101 uses diagrams and an iconography system to show how to build digital programming and sustainable operations.

Generation Z and Generation Alpha are the first digital natives. They perceive and process content differently, and museums have to adapt.
