O uso de tecnologias digitais em museus de arte o caso do Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía: repensar Guernica

The Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia (Madrid, Spain) admittedly uses digital technologies to foster access and diffusion of its collections. This paper presents a specific project from the Museum: Repensar Guernica, website that, through the conjunction of the processes that underlie the museum and the archive, adds as much information as possible about the Pablo Picasso's masterpiece Guernica. The platform goal is to achieve a general audience, from Art History specialists to more varied curious about the subject. As of the Repensar Guernica case study, we prove how digital tools, as virtual exhibitions, online catalogs, and portals, are fundamental to improve and to democratize access for museum collections and archives. The methodology uses the bibliographical review about the digital technologies in the museums and has in mind some issues from the Digital Humanities, like the impact caused by the technology on the preservation of traditional sources of research.
