Hi Kevin
This may not strictly fall into the category of 'help' (sorry) but I think that if a museum is doing 'digital first' right, then it won’t be through the medium of online exhibitions. Exhibitions work well in a building or space that has the affordances to support hanging things and labels on walls, and allowing people to wander between them. A web browser or a mobile phone has a very different set of affordances, and they don’t really support the format of an 'exhibition' as we understand it.
Doing 'digital first' for a museum might better involve thinking about formats that do work online to create an engaging user experience, from digital games to feature journalism; and which are no less intrinsically 'museum' or 'culture' things for not being exhibitions.
My colleague Jen Staves has written really eloquently about how a museum can do journalism as an authentic & genuine museum experience:

& will be talking about it at Museums and the Web this week in Boston for anyone lucky enough to be there.

Hello all,
As always I need help.
I was asked by colleagues to supply some examples of 'digital first' Museum/Culture exhibitions for them to experience and/or attend. I am looking for exhibitions that have been conceived and delivered predominantly using networked digital platform/s and where the predominant visitor experience is delivered digitally but may include a physical exhibition build.
There have been some great examples over the last year, but when I looked they tended to be temporary shows and are no longer around - any recommendations greatly received, I'll post the list of recommendations here.
Thanks,
Kevin
