“The Albertina masterclasses : Focus on Children”


When they were founded in 2007, nobody expected the Albertina masterclasses to become one of the museum's biggest success stories. The idea behind these afternoon classes was to provide regular art lectures and workshops for children aged 6 to 12 years. This made the Albertina the first public, non-school organisation nationwide where children learned how to deal with art and got the opportunity to experience art by trying out artistic techniques in regular classes.

In June 2009, the exhibition “Young Masters” showcased the art work of 40 children in one of the Albertina's exhibition halls. This event received an enormous response and made the project known to the public. Six months before the Ministry of Education announced free entrance to the museums for all children, the Albertina pioneered the idea of supporting families throughout the duration of the exhibition.

“Bringing education and research to online audiences: Kunsthallewien.at"


Taking art education seriously also means granting virtual access - without financial barriers. After its relaunch, www.kunsthallewien.at will present itself as a fun and interactive multimedia site, as well as an impressive information platform and academic research station.The implementation of a wide-ranging research area constitutes a unique feature among Austrian art institutions' websites.

The Ursula blickle videoarchiv is a collaborative project of the Ursula Blickle Foundation, Germany, the Vienna University of Applied Arts and Kunsthalle Wien. Conceived as a digital media library and a site for student, research and curatorial practice; the archive offers competent information about the latest tendencies in video art. The focus is on Austrian art from the mid-1990s until today.

While on the road to professionalizing museums and strategic audience attraction development, having the right data available at the right time gives reassurance when making tough management decisions - especially in times of shrinking budgets.

"Mobile Interpretation between Education and Marketing: the SFMOMA case”


The Multimedia agency, “Nous”, based in Vienna and San Francisco has developed a mobile interpretation tour together with a team at the SFMOMA in San Francisco. One of their goals was to enable the SFMOMA to edit and publish its rich multimedia content on multiple platforms such as: multimedia guides, iPhones or iPads (and other android devices for example). The in-house tours were launched at the 75th anniversary show in December 2009 after intense concept and working phases. The project highlighted the extent to which the core of a museum, i.e its content production and its interpretation of art, can be a goldmine for communicating with visitors and thus establishing strong links with Web 2.0 platforms such as Twitter and Flickr
