Abstract
Digital technologies are often said to be open, democratic, social and participatory. These qualities are also associated with the concept of the post-museum. This paper explores the use of the digital in museums. It is argued that museums often employ new media to perpetuate traditional narratives rather than capitalise their transformative potential in order to change.
