ABSTRACT
With museum-based case studies as a starting point, this collection of essays addresses the overall changes in the access to and experience of art and heritage in our digital culture. Information and communication technology is changing the museum on different levels. It changes the relations a museum maintains with other institutions and organizations, methods and practices of collection management, and the relation that museums maintain with an increasingly diverse public. The use of information and communication technology affects means of display, research, and communication and may involve issues of power and authority, of ownership and control over access to heritage and information, both physically and intellectually.
