Online exhibitions

Whether you are sharing virtual versions of physical displays, or your exhibition is born-digital, online exhibitions enable us to share collections and knowledge with people around the world, so that no matter where you are, you can still explore and enjoy the stories of global museum and gallery collections.

Digital exhibits offer unprecedented access to institutions treasures that might never be seen otherwise except by those with local physical access to the museum or library. An online exhibition can expand on material presented at, or generate interest in, or create a durable online record of, a physical exhibition.
