Does AI use mean less web traffic for museums?
There are many ways to approach this, but here I've mapped the ratio of web visits at smk.dk to physical museum visits. If guests get info elsewhere, this ratio should change (i.e. fewer web visits per physical visit). I'm pretty sure that must be happening but currently the effect isn't strong enough to be clearly visible. We'll follow these numbers closely 🔎

Interesting conversation starter from @thisisaaronland on the SFO Museum blog: 'Shared cross-institutional vector embeddings – how we might get there' https://millsfield.sfomuseum.org/blog/2026/04/06/shared-embeddings/ - is anyone up for kicking those tyres?

How can museums use repositories to share research, given that it might look so different to 'traditional' academic outputs? https://journal.sciencemuseum.ac.uk/article/making-museum-research-more-visible-open-access-in-the-glam-sector/

Mapping the art 🗺️
At @smk, we've mapped the motifs in artworks in the museum collection to coordinates 📍
This makes the art explorable by location (the more ways to explore, the better, in our humble opinion).
See it in action @ our online collection SMK Open: https://open.smk.dk/en/map?q=*#2.16/70.25/-19.32

Footnote # 1: This replaces an earlier, less integrated setup
Footnote # 2: We've replaced Google Maps with @openstreetmap

More open: On National Gallery of Denmark's online collection 'SMK Open' (https://open.smk.dk/en) we're swapping out Google Maps for @openstreetmap to show artwork locations. 🗺️
