Summary/Abstract: This study presents the evolution of digital museums, starting with the emergence of the World Wide Web, an attempt to break with tradition and exist only in an online environment. This was followed by the emergence of Web 2.0 and the involvement of users in the life of collections, and finally the complementarity of analogue and digital content. In their work, the authors will necessarily address the question of the pedagogy of the digital museum and how the museum as a symbol of power has been transformed. The basic claim is that the concept of the digital museum is thus no longer independent of the material world and that the material world is also supplemented by digital content or information levels. This evolutionary step has given the museum institution new functions.
