A marriage of high‐tech and fine art: the National Gallery's Micro Gallery Project

Abstract

The Micro Gallery is a computerised, interactive, public access information system, located in the Sainsbury Wing of the National Gallery in London. It provides detailed information about the Gallery's collection of paintings in an accessible form, using digitised colour images and touch screen technology. A member of the team responsible for its development, here discusses the evolution of the system, its reception, and the projects it has spawned.
