Exploring the Contributions and Challenges of Museum Technology Professionals during the COVID‐19 Crisis

ABSTRACT Museum technologies provide a wide array of choice of museums to those who wish to exploit technology to attract, excite and ensure an unrivalled visitor experience, as well as capture and sustain share of mind and heart. Museum being a combination of both art and science requires skilled workmanship, meticulous planning and execution to exhibit a specimen to its optimal elegance due to its relatively smaller size and fragile nature. A well established oral pathology museum is rarely seen due to negligence of oral specimens, dearth of knowledge in this field and also available data on it. An insight on oral pathology museum, including its establishment, importance and advanced technologies to make it more simple and accessible are discussed in two parts. Part I emphasizes on basics in oral pathology museum, whereas part II highlights the specialized techniques and recent advances in museum technology. Our effort is to present this article as hands on experience for the pathologists, student population and the technicians. How to cite this article Patil S, Rao RS, Ganavi BS.

And Storage

The preservation of pathological specimens has become very significant as it is a potential teaching tool and important source of data. Museum has been made compulsory in medical and dental schools by various countries as it is not a mere storage of old and rare specimens, but a vital learning aid in the field of medicine. The procedure of museum setup requires both scientific and technical skills. The term ‘Museum technology’ together constitutes the method of collection, preservation and storage of specimens. This article aims to review the basics in setting up a museum. Emerging advancements in museum techniques are also highlighted.
