Abstract

Digitalising the Museum is an online repository created as a substitute for physical visits to London's museums and galleries and art centres that were meant to be undertaken by undergraduates from the London College of Communication (LCC) in 2020. In an attempt to provide a version of the exhibition experience whilst arts venues were in lockdown due to pandemic, the author began exploring their online provision, featuring it in a virtual learning resource and theorising 'digital museum'. This became the groundwork for a project conducted with the alumni who started evaluating digital exhibitions, tours, and artefacts at London art venues with an interest to support them whilst their doors were closed, their staff furloughed, and decolonisation agenda become reinvigorated with the Black Lives Matter movement. The author reflected on the alumni's findings to map the museums engagement with digital technology throughout the pandemic caused by COVID-19.
