We now have virtual, mediated access to countless heritage collections and assemblages of artworks, which we intuitively browse and navigate in a way that wasn't possible until very recently. This collection of essays takes up the question of the cultural meaning of the information and communications technology that makes these new engagements possible, asking questions like: How should we theorise the sensory experience of art and heritage? What does information technology mean for the authority and ownership of heritage?MuseumsInformation technologyMuseumsInformation technology.069.028520.12bclAkker Chiel van den1974-Legene SusanMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910320754203321Museums in a digital culture3659367UNINA
