The year 2020 saw a new incarnation Warsaw National Museum’s digital collection. The museum collection – containing over 800 thousand exhibits – can only be fully presented online. The initial version of the website only allowed for browsing through the museum’s catalogue. New features now available to users testify to the extent to which the digital collection had been improved. Users are now able to download high-resolution digital copies of the exhibits, save photo stills, search using a timeline as well as personalize and save their searches.
The mobile version of the site is highly accessible, which makes it easy to navigate for everyone, including users with special needs. Featuring Polish Sign Language translations is just one testament to the above.
