Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the temporary shutdown of multiple cultural institutions, highlighting the limits of physical exhibition spaces and encouraging multiple museums throughout the world to adopt digital media in order to engage with the public remotely. The current crisis has also re-ignited a pre-existing dialogue on the shift towards visitor-centered experiences and the need for more accessibility, openness, and participation in the production and transmission of cultural knowledge. In this context, I present a series of guidelines to help museums share works of art remotely through Online Reality and Augmented Reality, as these technologies are particularly useful for exhibiting art outside of the physical space, enabling new forms of artistic production and innovative exhibition models that are capable of reaching new audiences - accustomed to an increasingly digital world - through interactive, personalized cultural experiences. This work was partially supported by FCT Project.
