Abstract
The digitisation of museum collections since the1990s, while aimed at preservation, has alsopresented opportunities for audience engagementand outreach. Putting digital objects ‘online’ is often assumed to make museums more accessible, however, digital collections often replicate the conceptual and spatial organisation of museums, relying on prior knowledge and assumed perspectives in ways that can prohibit access. This chapter discusses the use of co-creative methods of digital production aimed at increasing the physical and digital accessibility of the museum. Discussing a project developed with the Young V&A, artists, young people, and youth workers, we highlight the potential for using arts-led methods and web-based tools to collectively reimagine the digital museum experience. The collaborative process and digital technologies employed further informed the reinvention of the physical site through the active involvement of the young participants and long-lasting collaborations between the museum and the youth organisations.
