Events Information

Enhancement of Digital Archives

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) as well as 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 digitize collection material and valuable resources and make their 3D data available online.

Development of New Programs Utilizing ICT

We will plan and develop new programs that actively utilize ICT, based on development of the information environment and the construction of digital archives. We will provide new accessible ways to experience and enjoy performances, including the development of educational content based on the Edo-Tokyo Museum smartphone interactive app “Hyper Edohaku” and the Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum app “Tatemonoen Navi,” as well as the introduction of features to make musical performances more accessible, using video technology from Tokyo Bunka Kaikan.
