Virtual Collection of Asian Masterpieces launches new website

The Virtual Collection of Masterpieces web platform was launched in 2007 and grew to include content from more than 120 institutions, across Asia and Europe. In May 2013 the newly redesigned web platform was launched and re-branded as the Virtual Collection of Asian Masterpieces (VCM). The Virtual Collection of Asian Masterpieces is about sharing museum knowledge. Together, the participants share 2,200 Masterpieces of Asian culture online.

More than 120 museums have already contributed a selection of masterpieces from their collections. These finest examples of Asian creativity present compelling images and information and allow the telling of forceful stories. Stories that draw attention to the similarities and differences between civilizations. Stories that enhance mutual understanding of cultural differences and highlight similarities. Stories that stimulate dialogue between peoples and illuminate their histories.

The primary intended uses of the VCM are educational and informational. Evaluation of the uses, strengths and weaknesses of the VCM will be used to prioritize follow-up steps in its development. This will help to point out useful strategies for reaching out to yet other groups of potential users.
