Museums discuss eGuide concept in Kaliningrad

The Museum of the World Ocean in Kaliningrad was host of the recent project meeting, 28 June to 1 July. The project partners of BalticMuseums 2.0 and BalticMuseums 2.0 Plus dedicated their workshops especially to the eGuide content to be developed. All museums presented their ideas and expectations based on knowledge and experiences gained during the first project and especially the latest study visit to several museums in Berlin. Furthermore technical options and appliances were evaluated. All museums favour a solution by iPod, however, specifications will be agreed on during the coming weeks. A system will be set up to share the content of the eGuides like text, various translations, photos and video material. Content production requires a lot of ressources which the museums want to share as much as possible. Next to the eGuide system, the project partners worked on the finalisation of the Online Information Platform www.balticmuseums.net. A fascinating feature, the panorama galleries, are about to be completed. They will add an interactive tool to the platform that even allows the museums to promote each other. Next workshops are planned in August in Stralsund, Germany.
