This project will create an environment where anyone can enjoy arts and culture anytime, anywhere through an integrated push towards the development of an information and communication infrastructure at metropolitan cultural facilities, the usage of their collections through means such as database expansion, the planning and development of programs leveraging digital technology, the creation of new ways to experience and enjoy arts and culture utilizing cutting-edge technology, and more.
Enhancement of digital archives
Promote the establishment of a system for online disclosure of materials stored in six metropolitan museums (Tokyo Metropolitan Edo-Tokyo Museum, Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum, Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, Tokyo Metropolitan Garden Art Museum, Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, and Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Contemporary Art) and the expansion of materials disclosure. The Tokyo Museum Collection (ToMuCo) is a database that allows users to search the collections of the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum and Art Museum. In addition, we will digitize stored materials and precious materials and release 3D data.
Development of new programs utilizing ICT
Based on the improvement of the information environment and the establishment of digital archives, we plan and develop new programs that actively utilize ICT. Tokyo Metropolitan Edo-Tokyo Museum smartphone application “Hyper Edo-Haku ” and Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum web application“ Open Air Architectural Museum Navi ” will be used to develop educational contents, and the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan will provide music appreciation support utilizing video technology.
