With the challenging situation that is the COVID-19 pandemic, the museum industry had to think outside the box to find alternate solutions. The restrictions in place have forced them to innovate and rethink how they operate.

Currently, some museums have used the technology of APIs to display their collections digitally. This is as they may remain limited to the public. API (Application Programming Interface) is a way to share data digitally. In addition, it’s a great way to communicate with databases in order to return information. Developers can use APIs to display outside information on their website. With museums, they can have the API share information such as images. Also clips of the items collected for the public to access.

Museums are also taking advantage of Virtual Reality technology (VR) so users are able to go for a “virtual visit” to the museum.

These and other technologies can be incorporated to your website. In addition to other dynamic information that will allow users to have a immersive media experience when they access your website.
