Digital reproductions in museums: the future?
Bonnefanten lets visitors think about the role of digital reproductions in museums. A presentation and a panel discussion will focus on the opportunities of digital reproduction techniques for museums and the public. How do these razor-sharp digital copies influence the experience of art in museums?
