The Metropolitan Museum of Art Goes Digital

July 06, 2015  /  Robert Rimm

With the help of Sree Sreenivasan, the Met's first chief digital officer, the Met is seeking to enhance its outreach to audiences around the world. The museum recently launched an app called Blippar, which brings art to life. Looking at an image via  Blippar unlocks relevant, real-time information about that image. The museum has upcoming apps in the works as well. The Met was a 2014 Webby Award Winner for its social media. 

Listen to our Innovate interview with Dan Weiss, newly appointed President of the Met, for more on his future plans for the museum and digital engagement.
