The digital transformation of the Museo Egizio

The project of the digital transformation of Museo Egizio di Torino started in response to the rapid change of its structure and needs. The project is centred on the integration of heterogeneous information and data to implement collection management, conservation and research workflows. This paper presents the concept and design of a management system, called SiME (Sistema Museo Egizio) that the Museum conceived in collaboration with Politecnico di Milano. The project is intended not only as a mere acquisition of technological tools, but rather as the construction of an integrated system that facilitates dialogue and connections between all museum activities, from daily management to research, from the design of installations to the generation of multiple possible narratives. Considering the pace of technological innovation a solid methodological approach has been adopted to ensure the longevity of the designed solutions from a long-term perspective.
