Nowadays more and more museums and art galleries around the world are putting their material contents online. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

People are now living in the digital age and with the tap of the finger they can get virtually any information that they might need. It is not surprising that

art

sector, like museums,

art

galleries follow that trend and allow eager sightseers to make on online tours in its interiors. From my point of view,

this

is a tremendous, positive development which may result in more conscious and

art

-oriented society.

Firstly

,

this

solution has a huge educational value. It is a perfect opportunity for teachers to interest children in the fine arts, which in consequence may have brought their creativity and out-of-the-box thinking into other disciplines. Children are more likely to be involved in the online form of studying

art

because they spend a lot of their

time

in front of computers these days and often

this

kind of conveying information catches their attention in the most powerful way.

For example

, during Coronavirus outbreak, many

art

educators propose their students to took in an online exhibition of national

art

galleries as a part of classes which ended up with immense enthusiasm from their side.

Secondly

, implementing online museum explorations can be an attractive way of spending free

time

and expanding cultural horizons, especially for busy people who spend most of their

time

working behind the desk. Long distance and lack of

time

can no longer be a barrier for

art

lovers, for whom

art

represents an integral part of the cultural and intellectual development and amusement.

In addition

, online entrance fees are often less expensive compared to traditional charges,

therefore

, people with lower income would have a chance to benefit from seeing and experiencing

art

in that form. In conclusion, by sharing their collections online, museums and

art

galleries facilitate the contemplation of

art

to everyone in every corner of the globe. Thanks to

this

solution learning about

art

or just marvelling over, it became easier and more convenient.
