This brings new possibilities to communicate and transform activities. The cultural and creative industries are one such sector using digitalization for development. This Stockholm Seminar on Japan will take stock on how digitalization is used within museums as a mean for visualization and communication into the future with a presentation of joint work in Sweden and Japan.
The Virtual Museum is a project with the aim to develop innovative digital technologies and new methods to create and visualize art collections and cultural heritage.
