In the 21st century, the purpose of the museum has been thrown into question, but global conflict and climate change have made it more important than ever that Museums act as repositories and hubs for the dissemination of knowledge. Technology is revolutionizing not only the way museums of all types undertake this mission. From providing new means to store and disseminate collections, to offering new opportunities to inspire, teach, and collaborate with a wider segment of the public than ever before. The conference Technology as a Bridge to the Museum at the Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures (ISAC) will provide a forum for exploring how technology can be used to foster relationships between museums of all types and their constituent communities both local and international: scholars, students, communities of origin, and the general public.
