Summary/Abstract: The article illustrates the way in which it is necessary to use technology in exhibitions from art museums. I shall analyze the means through which the institution, respectively the public is mediating the artistic act through digitalization, virtual medium and social media. When the public is emotionally involved and is distributing information regarding the works of art in the online medium, the showcase of the cultural object is done efficiently and rapidly, but out of the museum’s control. In order to reach this goal, I shall be taking three exponential parts into consideration. Firstly, I shall present the types of art museum collections existing internationally and nationally, which already are using technology in their curatorial style. The preliminary conclusion shall investigate whether this approach was able to bring an improvement to the museum experience or to the level of participation. In the second argument I shall focus on the impact that the new manner of museum exhibition has towards fulfilling its basic functions, stipulated in the legislative act that institutionally authorizes it. The art museums that already make use of technological ways of distributing information shall be taken into consideration. The preliminary conclusion shall encase a hypothesis regarding the long-term advantages existing for the art museums that are going to utilize information technology in the future. Lastly, I shall argument the necessity of this approach in the visual art’s museum exhibition, for maintaining the institution at contemporary expectation standards. Finally, I shall conclude with deciding upon the attractiveness criteria that a museum acquires when using new media of broadcasting information.
