What is an intelligent museum?
This article launches a new cycle in the Numbers and Trends section, focusing on surveys and opinion analysis. The central theme is Museums and Intelligence, with a special emphasis on exploring the relationship between intelligence—especially artificial intelligence—and the museum system.
Key questions include:
Does “museum intelligence” exist?
What defines an “intelligent museum”?
How can AI be applied to museum management?
In what ways might technology reshape museum practices?
The new survey season is marked by three main features:
Questionnaires are targeted specifically at museum professionals
Results are shared for informational purposes and sent to a selected sample by the scientific editorial team
Each questionnaire acts as an “incubator” for deeper analysis and shared reflection
The themes are also presented through Network Museum People, engaging the broader cultural public. Professionals who wish to participate can apply via email: info@networkmuseum.com
The article closes with a collective inquiry: “What does it mean to be an intelligent museum?” An invitation to thoughtful and meaningful participation.
