SoCultures is impressed with the concept of a “Facebook-Museum” and curious
too and so asks a few questions to understand it better.
What exactly is a Facebook-Museum and how the idea came into existence?
Just like any real museum, it displays works, it has exhibition halls and loyal
audience and it’s on the Facebook. The idea of a Facebook-Museum came simply
from the fact that it did not exist. It’s not that there are no sites or groups or pages
which do not promote any art or exceptional art but a real museum like experience
was not there on the web.
What do we expect from the FB-Museum how it’s different in its features? Please
elaborate.
It’s phenomenal and has everything which you will find in a physical museum.
Our main objective is to spread joy and pleasure of art! The Facebook’s
algorithms and tools are powerful and its features have tremendous reach and can
give exceptional results.
So the objective of the FB-Museum is to keep the art works alive in the memories
of people and always available to view with a click. The aim is also to initiate the
healthy dialogues around the exhibited works of art. Not merely putting them up as
an object but as a constant source of discussion, knowledge and inspiration. Afterall,
they are masterpieces
The traditional museums have always been there its not only seeing that of a
museum website? What are the advantages of a website-museum?
Though it’s a very broad subject, we can talk of a few major differences - Firstly,
we have to think in the digital format, when we talk of a FB-Museum. There exists
an exorbitant amount of information on the net. There are infinite works which are
already posted every second, in an unorganized way on the web.
