Mu.SA Project Explores Digital Strategies for Italian Museums at MAXXI Focus Group
A focus group named 'Innovazione digitale e musei' convened on December 5, 2016, at MAXXI in Rome. Organized by Fondazione Symbola and Melting Pro, with contributions from Link Campus University and the Emilia Romagna Institute for Cultural Heritage, this event forms part of the European Mu.SA initiative. Involving twelve organizations from Italy, Greece, Portugal, and Belgium, the project seeks to identify essential digital competencies for modern art institutions.
