We will promote the construction of a system enabling online availability of collection-related material from six metropolitan museums (Edo-Tokyo Museum, Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum, Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum,Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum, Tokyo Photographic Art Museum, and Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo) and the expansion of public access to this material. We will operate Tokyo Museum Collection (ToMuCo), a database enabling cross-searches of material and works in these collections. In addition, we will conduct basic research on digitizing and making available online collection materials and valuable resources.

We will plan and develop new programs that actively utilize ICT, based on development of the information environment and the construction of digital archives. In addition to releasing a follow-up of the smartphone app Hyper Edohaku, we will expand the app with new interactive content. We also plan to develop a guide app offering visitors to Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum explanation/commentary about the buildings and related material using AR (Augmented Reality) technology.
