• Authors: Gabriela Manista

Abstracts

Virtual exhibitions have become a tool increasingly more frequently applied by Polish museums in order to reach a wider public. Using cyberdisplays as a digital product, not only do the institutions disseminate knowledge of their collection, but also reach new public. The potential and challenges entailed in designing e-museums have been a topic vivid in museology since the late 1990s. During the COVID-19 pandemic the discussion on tasks and purposes of digital displays was resumed. The paper presents the results of the CAWI research among visitors of digital museums; it also points to their motivation, while analysing the demand for such tools classifying individuals who use them into various categories.
