Abstract

The paradigm of museum as “a place without borders” meets new possibilities in the age of globalization and digital media. The highly technological driven audiences present a continuous challenge for most Museums to attract and engaged. The focus is now mainly on the experience – the Museum experience, that can also be modeled and enhanced by the use of digital media. This article presents a preliminary view on the presence of digital media in two identified Water Museums: two case studies from the Global Network of Water Museums (WAMUT-NET, an initiative of UNESCO). We’ve identified the presence of similar digital technologies and tools, but different forms of integrating them in each Museum’s scale, context and mission. Further research should follow, to identify in situ, and in articulation with curators and visitors, new findings.
