Packed

In a complex and rapidly evolving field such as that of digital cultural heritage, collaboration and the exchange of knowledge and experience are necessary. PACKED vzw therefore welcomes collaboration proposals and requests.

PACKED vzw collaborates with organisations from the international field of cultural heritage. The centre of expertise in digital heritage was one of the partners (from 24 countries) involved in the European project ATHENA. Within ATHENA, PACKED vzw collaborated as national coordinator with the Royal Museums for Art and History (Brussels), City Archive of Antwerp, Fashion Museum (Antwerp), Collection of the Flemish Community (Brussels), Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage (Brussels) and the Royal Museum for Central Africa (Tervuren) (click here for more information). The creation of the Cultural Heritage Standards Toolbox CEST (Cultureel ErfgoedStandaarden Toolbox) happened in collaboration with both eDAVID and DEN (Digital Heritage Netherlands).

Ensembles.org

Embracing the possibilities of new media, M HKA is making an effort to share its knowledge. ensembles.org is a web tool – used by the entire organisation – that targets a sustainable digital organization of information and insights. At this moment it contains multi-media information of over 14.000 works of art by more than 2.500 artists. Now, with this new website and a wide range of different front-end applications, we share a substantial selection.
