While museums have long strived to be welcoming places as well as havens of learning, social media is turning them into virtual community centers. On Facebook or Twitter or almost any museum Web site, everyone has a voice, and a vote. Curators and online visitors can communicate, learning from one another. As visitors bring their hand-held devices to visits, the potential for interactivity

Museum und Archiv als Bildungsorte Museen und Archive sind das Gedächtnis unerer Gesellschaft. Sie sind wichtiger Objekt- und Informationsspeicher und legen Zeugnisse unserer Vergangenheit ab. In ihnen werden Informationen und Wissen aufbewahrt und generiert, die für Bildung und Erziehung herangezogen und für die Gesellschaft nutzbar gemacht werden. [Vgl. Gruber 2009, S. 72] Gruber, M. R.

Success with digital media for museums, education and cultural organisations isn't about scrambling to sign up to the latest fads, those teasmades of technology, and more about attitudes of organisations and the individuals within them. What are the handles we can grab hold of to begin or better develop our journeys into digital media use in the world of exhibition, performances or engagement of new audiences? It tries to make a few points, some more successfully than others, no doubt. Key amongst them:- how to institutions do better what is now so easy for everyman to do?- is there anything to be learned from the world of startups where coming up with a compelling problem that needs solved? What are the problems museums manage to solve? Do they need to think in that way at all?- what potential is there for cultural organisations to open themselves up to new audiences by tackling the same content and ideas in alternative ways and on different platforms?

o one can have a "museum experience" without stepping foot in a museum. Let's just get that out of the way. It doesn't matter how digitally precise your online version of "The Forge of Vulcan" is, tilting your head to draw the light across the raised ridges of paint is not an electronically duplicable experience. That doesn't mean digital art collections don't have great value. After all, art books do. So here are half a dozen great digital art collections you can visit to inspire your own trip, or your own thinking about art, or to remind yourself or to learn a bit for no other reason than digital art is better by far than no art at all. In order to keep from wandering off the path never to be seen again, let's focus on Western painting.

This paper looks at the use of cell phones for tours of cultural sites in Europe. Although several projects have experimented with IVR, SMS and even multimedia tours on standard and next-generation networks, take-up of this platform by museums has remained low in comparison to US activity, despite cell phone usage being more wide-spread and longer-developed than in North America. Through case studies of recent phone tour projects at Tate Modern and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, we examine what the key differences and similarities are between phone-based tours on the two continents, and what each can learn from the other.
