Museums in the Digital Age

Abstract

This chapter examines the transformation of museums into a hybrid space. In this context, a fully digital contemporary museum in Paris, Atelier des Lumieres, has been chosen as a case study. The research aims to answer the following questions: What is the historical process of change in artworks and museum spaces through technical reproduction? What are the factors that shape the museum experience? What is the hybrid museum? How does the museum space and experience transform with digital technological representation methods? The theoretical framework investigates the technological development of museums with a comprehensive literature review. In addition, the study creates a theoretical construct for the hybrid museum experience by examining the changing museum experience with the effects of digitalization. Atelier des Lumieres was investigated for its characteristics of the hybrid museum experience by field research. As a result, the study offers alternative solutions to increase the hybrid museum experience.
