Going digital not easy for cultural institutions

18 April 2020

Due to coronavirus crisis, Canada’s museums and public art galleries quickly redirected visitors to their digital offerings. The Aga Khan Museum in Toronto has organised #Museumwithoutwalls which includes performances and views of the collection, including a curator’s tour of the upcoming Sanctuary exhibition. Its prescient theme is the meaning of sanctuary and it features rugs made by Pakistani artisans using traditional techniques but new designs provided by 36 contemporary artists, including Mona Hatoum, Brendan Fernandes and Ai Weiwei.
