One in four Brazilian museums have made their collections available online and most cultural institutions face issues relating to technology infrastructure and connectivity, according to a new study from the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee.
According to the research on the current state of technology adoption in the arts and culture space, there was a significant change in terms of Internet use by museums and the presence of these organizations in social networks. The study noted that 56% of cultural institutions had some kind of social media presence in 2020 compared to 48% in 2018, leading to a 49% increase in interactions with the public through such platforms, including the promotion of collections, exhibitions, projects or services.
However, digital collections is challenging for most Brazilian cultural institutions. The study has found that, although digitization of items to some extent has been carried out by 68% of museums, this did not necessarily correspond to the availability of the collections in digital formats to the public.
