Mapping Museum Social ‘Ecosystems’ 

Natalia Grincheva, Research Fellow, Transformative Technologies Research Unit, The University of Melbourne

This presentation will introduce a new dynamic web application that can map and visualise museum “soft power,” understood as a symbolic power to attract tourists, investments, and international opportunities for institutional growth and community development. Designed in cooperation with leading museums in Melbourne, including the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), Melbourne Museum, and the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI), the project brings together academic expertise, museum professionals, and policy makers to explore how museums can drive local tourism, contribute to urban development, and serve as important actors in developing international relations.
