The Use of New Media, Technologies and Other Modern Presentation Techniques in Czech Museums

Abstract

Museums in the information society are finding ways how to incorporate the technologies, the media and the modern presentation techniques into the exhibitions by designing interactive and collaborative activities and by online communication with the public. The article presents data from the quantitative questionnaire survey conducted in 2015 which was attended by 203 Czech museums. The hypothesis of the frequent utilisation of modern presentation techniques in exhibitions has not been confirmed. Not event in relation to museums which have been significantly modernised during 2005–2015. Only 27 % of the modernised museums utilise at least 4 types of the modern forms. The hypothesis which expected that majority of museums offer the accompanying activities has been confirmed. The hypothesis that Czech museums are lacking in regard to the use of new media in online communication has not been confirmed, however data show that there is a space for improvement. The implementation of the modern presentation techniques is dependent on the size of the museum that is defined by a number of employees. 65 % of all Czech museums have 1–10 employees and in these institutions the implementation is more difficult and is used only modestly.
