Michael Auping, one of the show's curators, said he couldn't imagine doing a show like the Biennial without computer technology. The Dayton Art Institute has begun using the new Ameritech smARTour, which allows museum visitors to tour the permanent art collection with a handheld digital touring device similar to a cellular phone. The device has information about nearly 100 works of art and allows guests to randomly access the information. The American Association of Museums is sponsoring the MUSE Awards, which recognize excellence in museum media. Representing over a decade of work by the NGA Archive staff, this site offers a narrative summary and key facts for each of the more than 750 special exhibitions held at the Gallery from 1941 through 1997.
