Film and Media Studies Lecturer John Bell in Hood Museum Event

It's become a commonplace to hear that 2020 has forever changed the art world and cultural heritage in general. But this is a story we've heard before, during the dot-com boom of the early 2000s, when museums like the Guggenheim, Whitney, and SFMOMA made a leap to digital collections and programming. What lessons can be learned from the digital gold rush of the turn of the millennium, and how should museums apportion resources strained under the pandemic to take advantage of this latest transition?
