THE FUSE

The traditional museum experience, pausing in front of an object, and absorbing its history visually or by reading its description, has long shaped how collectors and others relate to cultural treasures. Yet, over the last few decades, digital technology has quietly rewritten many of those rules, changing not only how collections are exhibited but also how they are documented, preserved, and even inherited. Virtual museums, including fully online projects such as the Kremer Collection, now offer an alternative way to share and safeguard art and collectibles without relying on conventional brick-and-mortar buildings.
