The Fairfield University Art Museum is launching a free digital guide powered by Bloomberg Connects to enrich visitor engagement and expand the overall accessibility of its exhibitions and programming.
In mid-April, the Fairfield University Art Museum (FUAM) will begin offering a free digital guide, providing an immersive experience for all before, during, and after their visit. The FUAM staff is thrilled to announce that this new resource will bring exhibitions to life in virtual contexts with innovative ways to interact with the museum. Visitors can access videos, guided tours, storytelling, and virtual art galleries. The guide will also offer various features, including zooming, adjusting font sizes, and requesting captions and audio transcripts.
“We’re always looking for new ways to connect audiences with the museum’s collection and exhibitions,” Michelle DiMarzo '07, PhD, curator of education and academic engagement, said. “We’re also really excited that being part of Bloomberg Connects will increase our visibility in Fairfield County and beyond. The digital guide is based on geographic location, so for example, if you pull it up while visiting the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Ridgefield, Conn., you'll realize that FUAM isn't that far away.”
