Abstract
Museums have immense impact on tourism. Tourists prefer visiting museums because they are symbolic form of cultural heritage. Museums evolve in tandem with society. As an established place-based national artifact towards a more scattered (post) advanced setting, the contemporary museum has experienced a transition. The majority of current literature on museums and technology stress on how technology provides museums with unparalleled potential, fundamentally revolutionizing how they work. While acknowledging those shifts and opportunities, this paper focuses on what is constant in a continuously changing sociocultural milieu. With advancements in mobile telecoms, wifi, GPS, and location-based technology have aided in the emergence of a more digitally connected world which is no longer reliant on tangible, fixed locations. In the same manner that the physical thing is still important in the digital era, notwithstanding the widespread availability of their digital photographs, to art museums. Whether small community museums, ethnic museums, national museums, or big encyclopaedic museums that embody the ambitions (and financial backing) of local elite, all museums, from the Enlightenment to the present, begin with a place-based premises. Museums also contribute to cultural preservation. Thus the paper emphasizes on the use of AI in museums and its contribution to cultural preservation with reference to the some of the museums of Asia and Europe.
