Karlstrom says it sounds wonderful in theory, but she doesn’t anticipate the mid-sized Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco will jump on that bandwagon anytime soon.
For a majority of museum publishers, the Internet could be its savior, in Medlock’s estimation, simply because it appeals to youth.
“Think of the larger democratic, sociological issues,” she says. “We have more and more books published in the United States every year. But there is not any evidence that people are reading more. Museum Web pages offer searchable aspects that are incredible. You can relate different works, do a virtual tour and have students compare and contrast. It’s like getting people to your museum without actually having them there.”
