The museum acts as an active urban actor in digital era

Contemporary museum discourse is re-evaluating the role of museums, opening up new themes and approaches to working with collections in ways that are modern, inclusive, and more accessible to visitors. Our main research themes focus on identity, civic engagement, and transformation. At the same time, an important question arises as to how to effectively communicate contemporary topics to target audiences in a digital age characterised by an abundance of information. The digitalisation of museum collections, participatory and inclusive approaches, the publication of partial results, and strong ethical considerations form part of a broader strategy to deepen these themes and establish applicable methodological frameworks for their exploration.

• Digitalisation of collections related to 20th-century history and their online accessibility

• Collection of objects and documents related to civic engagement after 1989

• Environmentally sustainable management of storage facilities (reduced energy consumption, smart climate control)

• Visual and audio documentation of intangible cultural heritage (memory), as well as tangible cultural heritage, including accessibility for disadvantaged groups
