Phase I: Applied Research for Museums

Year(s): 2019 – 2021

Description:
The Future Museum Phase I was launched in December 2019 by Museum Booster in collaboration with Fraunhofer IAO, aimed at helping museums navigate strategic planning in a rapidly changing environment.
The initiative focused on:

• Conducting applied research into how museums and cultural institutions can keep pace with technological, social and market shifts.

• Bringing together a community of museums, cultural leaders, public authorities, innovators and technology/supplier partners to exchange ideas, experiences and benchmarking data.

• Producing insights and practical guidelines for investment decisions in technology, strategies for audience engagement, and organisational innovation.

Output:

• A strategic framework and research outputs that support museums in understanding which technologies and solutions make sense to invest in.

• The creation of a collaborative network/community for museums and cultural actors to share innovation practices.

• Published findings and benchmark data that inform museum strategic direction, innovation adoption and transformation pathways.
