Digital Art Experiences

Title: Digital Art Experiences
Description: has some great examples of visitor attractions that have embraced the digital world and enhanced the visitor experience through online resources and tools for digital art experiences. For instance, Crawford Art Gallery houses a collection of over 3,000 works, ranging from 18 century Irish and European painting and sculpture, through to contemporary video installations. The museum’s building dates back to 1724, welcomes over 250,000 visitors a year and is free to enter. Its tours and outreach programmes take place not only in the gallery but on the streets, in schools, in health settings and in a range of community venues. During the pandemic and the gallery’s closure, the Crawford Gallery created a 3D tour online, allowing visitors to explore each floor, one-by-one from the comfort of their own homes. Their online resources include some focused activities for children, including the ‘Colour our Collection’ programme and the ‘Talking Pictures’ section of the website, both of which allowed children to engage with, and learn more about, the gallery’s artworks remotely.  Find out more at: https://crawfordartgallery.ie   https://libguides.ucc.ie/blog/Special-Collections-and-Archives-Launches-its-First-Colouring-Book
