The event was a presentation cum panel discussion about how cultural institutions can remain relevant in a digitally connected world.

Digital does play a critical role in Archiving but it also does bring alive museum experiences when used appropriately. It does not and should not replace the physical visit to a museum. Instead digital should be used to encourage potential visitors and complement what is on exhibit. The Glass Rotunda is a perfect example of digital technology and analogue experience coming together effectively for visitors.
