THE ACROPOLIS MUSEUM LAUNCHES INTERACTIVE DIGITAL COLLECTIONS
The Acropolis Museum released a new, sophisticated website that brings the
museum’s collection to life through digital exhibitions and an extensive
virtual catalogue of its antiquities.
The new website just not only include information about the
museum’s history, future visits and eminent exhibitions, but also a digital chronicle
of its permanent collection, the first of its kind to be provided by a Greek museum.
This enormous catalogue, free and accessible to all,
includes extensive descriptions of over 2.000 masterpieces housed in the museum
as well as an interactive glossary, bibliographies, photographs, drawings and videos
to bring the collection to life.
This digital archive has already proven to be an incredible
resource for students, archaeologists, art historians and all those interested in
ancient Greek art.
Hoping to make ancient Greek art exciting for young art lovers, the Acropolis Museum also launched a new children’s website aimed to six to twelve-year-olds, full of unique games, educational videos, engaging activities and numerous opportunities for creativity, all inspired by ancient Greece.
New multimedia spaces have also been installed in the
Acropolis Museum, permitting visitors to explore the history of the museum’s
extensive collection and to compare it to exhibitions in other renowned museums
around the world.
There is a corresponding children’s corner in the museum, full of video games that explore topics such as daily life in Ancient Greece.
