Behind the Rijksmuseum new Online Collection

As a successor to the then revolutionary Rijksstudio, the Rijksmuseum presents the new innovative Collection online. In this presentation, you will learn how we arrived at the ‘Infinite Rijksmuseum’ concept from there. How to deploy Open Linked Data for a immersive visual collection experience, stimulating infinite finding and discover? What can be the role of AI? How to let visitors tell their own stories in inspiring formats, like a virtual Gallery of Honour? How do you market an Online Collection through an omnichannel brand campaign? We also focus on the lessons learned, especially regarding the Open Linked Data search system.
