A View From Sweden: What Record Digital Reach Really Means
<p dir="ltr">Aron Ambrosiani, curator of digital collections at the Swedish Museum of Architecture and Design and PhD candidate, takes one headline — "Swedish museums experience drop in visits, but record digital reach" — and unpacks what it really means. The numbers are big: 130% increase on Wikimedia platforms, 23% increase in website visits, and 10 % increase on Instagram.</p> <p dir="ltr">But Aron digs beneath the surface to ask the harder questions: what counts as a visit? What are we actually measuring? And does digital reach translate into something museums can act on? From the surprising ways museum collections come alive on Wikipedia to a student project that turns digital publishing into deep learning, this conversation challenges us to think more critically — and more creatively — about what digital engagement really means.</p> <p dir="ltr">Read the article <a href= "https://www.ne-mo.org/news-events/article/swedish-museums-experience-drop-in-visits-but-record-digital-reach/"> here</a>.</p> <p> </p>

Digital as Catalyst: Designing for Surprise in Trusted Spaces
<p>Sarah Van Haastert, Global Director of Strategic Partnerships at AVI-SPL offers a beautifully layered take on digital learning in museums. As she puts it, digital learning is both "a drop and the ocean": a small spark of curiosity that surprises visitors in the gallery, and the vast infrastructure behind the scenes that makes it all possible. In a place where visitors come to be social, learn, and connect with stories, digital becomes a catalyst — delivering moments of delight that stay with people long after a visit. This conversation digs into what it really takes to make those moments happen, from the essential foundations to the magic of a visitors experience. </p> <p>We also explore: </p> <ul> <li>Sustainability and Infrastructure</li> <li>What Museums Mean When They Say "Personalization"</li> <li>Learning From Other Industries</li> <li>The Vendor Trust Gap</li> </ul>

Magic in the Background: On Storytelling, Tech & Digital Engagement
<p>Chris Evans, founder of the design consulting firm Drummin Hands, designs in-gallery digital experiences across museums, national parks, and cultural institutions. With a background rooted in interpretation and storytelling, Chris believes the best technology is invisible. Or, as he puts it, the "magic happening in the background." He shares how he helps organizations of all sizes start with the story first, choose the right tools to tell it, and create digital moments that visitors can't get anywhere else.</p>
