Summary

Virtual Museums explores the evolving landscape of art and cultural institutions in the digital age, revealing how technologies like VR and online platforms are reshaping museum experiences. The book examines how museums are leveraging digital tools to enhance visitor engagement and broaden educational outreach. One intriguing fact is the potential for digital platforms to democratize access to art, reaching diverse audiences beyond geographical limitations. Another is how VR reconstructions offer immersive experiences, allowing people to virtually explore historical sites and artifacts.

 
The book approaches its subject by tracing the evolution of museum digitization, presenting case studies of institutions like the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the British Museum, and then contemplates the future of museums. It highlights the importance of user-centered design, arguing that digital implementations should prioritize audience needs. As museums grapple with staying relevant, this exploration of museum technology offers valuable insights into the ethical considerations of digital preservation and the innovative possibilities for cultural heritage in the digital realm.

 
Structured in three parts, it begins by introducing core concepts and surveying current digital practices, then it examines specific case studies, and concludes by exploring the future of museums in the digital age. It bridges art history, museum studies, and technology, offering a unique perspective on how digital technologies can enhance art historical research and cultural preservation.

    “Does it hurt?” When you’re a tattoo artist, that’s the most universal question. For Chris MacDonald, the answer is simple: hurts less than a broken heart. Those words are painted above the entrance to his shop, Under My Thumb Tattoos, as a reminder.
		 
Chris and his brothers were as wild as the wind, in their house among the fields of Alliston, Ontario, when their parents divorced. Shell-shocked, they were uprooted and brought to Toronto by their dad. Their mother’s mental illness worsened in the aftermath, and she disappeared. As a teenager, Chris left home and found himself immersed in the city’s underbelly, a world where drugs, skateboarding, and punk rock reigned. Between the youth shelters, suicidal thoughts, and haunted apartments, a light shined: and it was art.
		 
He eventually found himself following the path of his brother, Rob, and pursuing life as a tattooist. Then, at the height of a destructive summer, everything changed: he met Megan, the girl who would become his rock of ages.
		 
This remarkable memoir examines what tattooing means to MacDonald and traces the connection his artistic motives have to both his family and childhood. The Things I Came Here With is about how crucial our past is to understanding our future, but it’s also a love letter to his daughter about the importance of expression, life’s uncertainty, and beauty.

    The Victorians thought, wrote and preached much more about heaven than we do today. As the subject of death comes out of the closet after 120 years when it has been largely shunned and avoided, this book presents the views on the afterlife of a number of well-known Victorians, and others not so well known, in the belief that they may help us today as we seek to get over our fear of death and what lies beyond it and to rescue ourselves from its privatization and over-medicalization.

    Many Disney films adapt works from the Victorian period, which is often called the Golden Age of children's literature. Animating the Victorians: Disney's Literary History explores Disney's adaptations of Victorian texts like Alice in Wonderland, Oliver Twist, Treasure Island, Peter Pan, and the tales of Hans Christian Andersen. Author Patrick C. Fleming traces those adaptations from initial concept to theatrical release and beyond to the sequels, consumer products, and theme park attractions that make up a Disney franchise. During the production process, which often extended over decades, Disney's writers engaged not just with the texts themselves but with the contexts in which they were written, their authors' biographies, and intervening adaptations. 
Linking the Disney Princess franchise to Victorian ideologies shows how gender and sexuality are constantly being renegotiated. Disney's animated musicals, theme parks, copyright practices, and even marketing campaigns depend on cultural assumptions, legal frameworks, and media technologies that emerged in nineteenth-century England. By applying scholarship in Victorian studies to a global company, Fleming shows how institutions mediate our understanding of the past and demonstrates the continued relevance of literary studies in a corporate media age.
