The digital world is full of dubious and ephemeral material, much of it dubbed “fake news” by some people. On the other hand, museums are institutions that have much worthwhile content and stories based around their collections. The Internet and web have been and will continue to be a wonderful resource for outreach from museums into the world, without geographical boundaries. Museums are now part of the digital culture of everyday life. With this in mind, a new book (Giannini & Bowen 2019) is planned to cover the interleaving of museums and digital culture with respect to a number of different aspects and viewpoints.
