Abstract
Creating digital exhibitions will address a growing demand for expertise in building digital/virtual museum exhibitions, particularly in a post-pandemic world where virtual accessibility has become a part of our everyday lives. By providing multiple approaches to developing digital exhibitions, we intend to pair theoretical frameworks of digital and virtual environments with practical implications of producing exhibits with national and international applications. We discuss our book project, “Creating Virtual Exhibition: A Guide” with Rowman and Littlefield, featuring global perspectives on digital exhibitions, virtual programming, and implications for the field. By inviting nationally- and internationally-renowned scholars and professionals to co-author this book, it will become a guide filled with our strategies and past experiences in developing accessible, engaging, participatory, and sustainable virtual exhibitions. It combines theoretical ideas and practical suggestions, forming a unique and valuable roadmap for museums of all sizes to navigate the digital landscape.
