    A View From Sweden: What Record Digital Reach Really Means

    Aron Ambrosiani, curator of digital collections at the Swedish Museum of Architecture and Design and PhD candidate, takes one headline — "Swedish museums experience drop in visits, but record digital reach" — and unpacks what it really means. The numbers are big: 130% increase on Wikimedia platforms, 23% increase in website visits, and 10 % increase on Instagram. But Aron digs beneath the surface to ask the harder questions: what counts as a visit? What are we actually measuring? And does digital reach translate into something museums can act on? From the surprising ways museum collections come alive on Wikipedia to a student project that turns digital publishing into deep learning, this conversation challenges us to think more critically — and more creatively — about what digital engagement really means.

    Digital as Catalyst: Designing for Surprise in Trusted Spaces

    Sarah Van Haastert, Global Director of Strategic Partnerships at AVI-SPL offers a beautifully layered take on digital learning in museums. As she puts it, digital learning is both "a drop and the ocean": a small spark of curiosity that surprises visitors in the gallery, and the vast infrastructure behind the scenes that makes it all possible. In a place where visitors come to be social, learn, and connect with stories, digital becomes a catalyst — delivering moments of delight that stay with people long after a visit. This conversation digs into what it really takes to make those moments happen, from the essential foundations to the magic of a visitors experience.  We also explore:  Sustainability and Infrastructure What Museums Mean When They Say "Personalization" Learning From Other Industries The Vendor Trust Gap

    Magic in the Background: On Storytelling, Tech & Digital Engagement

    Chris Evans, founder of the design consulting firm Drummin Hands, designs in-gallery digital experiences across museums, national parks, and cultural institutions. With a background rooted in interpretation and storytelling, Chris believes the best technology is invisible. Or, as he puts it, the "magic happening in the background." He shares how he helps organizations of all sizes start with the story first, choose the right tools to tell it, and create digital moments that visitors can't get anywhere else.

    Small Teams, Big Digital Dreams

    Pauliina Kinanen, Training Specialist, with the Finnish Museums Association pulls back the curtain on what digital learning looks like when the average number of staff in a Finnish museum is nine. These small teams are finding big ways to innovate by trusting the power of their own stories, building the right partnerships, and experimenting with digital tools on their own terms. This conversation is a reminder that you don't need a massive team or budget to create meaningful digital learning experiences, you just need confidence, curiosity, and good collaborators.

    The Future of Digital Learning Starts With Trust

    Zeina Dghaim, Training and Excellence Manager at the Zayed National Museum in Abu Dhabi, knows what it takes to build digital learning experiences from the ground up. From advising on a fully digital museum for the Bahamas to shaping visitor experiences at one of the newest cultural institutions in the world, Zeina has a clear message for the sector: trust yourselves.  She challenges museums to stop approaching digital from a deficit mindset and start leading with imagination, creativity, and confidence in their own stories. Her unlikely sources of inspiration? The fashion and culinary industries where vision comes first and barriers come second. This conversation is a reminder that museums already know how to create extraordinary experiences. They just need to believe it.

    AI, Audio, and Accessibility: Personalizing Museum Learning at Scale

    Frits Polman, CEO and founder of Guide-ID, is the first guest this season to go deep on how AI is reshaping the digital learning experience in museums. His platform uses AI to generate audio content tailored to each visitor's language and learning level making personalized engagement possible for museums of any size and budget. But Frits also makes a compelling case for why audio itself matters more than ever: in a world designed to pull visitors toward their screens, audio lets them keep their eyes on the art and their phones in their pockets. This conversation explores what happens when AI and audio come together to put the story and the visitor first.

    Future-Proofing Cultural Institutions

    Museums often talk about going beyond the walls to reach audiences—but what if the museum has no walls at all? After the Rubin Museum of Himalayan Art closed its doors in 2024, it has engaged more audiences than ever through "trans-mediated experiences" spanning exhibitions, digital platforms, and partnerships.  Kimon Keramidas, Head of Digital Content and Strategy at the Rubin, demonstrates how this deliberate approach can help museums serve as bastions of critical thinking and future-proof our sector against whatever the next hype cycle brings. Plus, Kimon designs his dream museum studies degree program in our game!
