Abstract

The following essay brings some justification strategies for the 'digital museum' into the context of older ideas of the tasks of a memory institution, which were connected with the names of John Dewey and especially John Cotton Dana. Overcoming the limits of the museum; politics of reproduction; vitalization; 'community' building: these are only some aspects of the idea of a 'digital museum'. But the crucial aspect that sums up all these modes of access seems to lie in the activation of the visitor, which begins to override the basic disposition of the contemplative.
