MUSEUMS GADGETS AND THE IMPORTANCE OF THINKING OF MUSEUM COMMUNICATION IN A NEW WAY

Museums gadgets and communication. Which is relationship among these three words?

One day I was asked this question, and I answered by talking about social media and how a museum today has a lot of new instruments to communicate quickly with different types of visitors.

In that moment I thought again about the question I was asked the previous day, and that a good museum communication consists also of gadgets and not only of posts to be published on social media.

A good museum, which wants to communicate effectively with visitors, is recognizable also by items for sale at the bookshop.
In this post you’ll find three reasons why museums gadgets can improve museum communication.
