The Rijksmuseum is leveraging AI technology to enhance access and engagement with its extensive collection, aiming to make art more accessible and interesting to a wider audience.
Taco Dibbits, the museum's general director, stated, 'We wanted to digitise the whole collection, including scanning the Night Watch in the greatest resolution ever, but there was so much more.'
The museum's 'art explorer' project invites users to engage personally with art, asking questions like 'What do you love?' to promote deeper cultural connections and interest.
Dibbits noted that the AI tool 'makes comparisons—something art historians always thought was their domain'—suggesting a shift in accessibility and exploration of art through technology.
