B3.1.5 National Gallery of Denmark, Copenhagen, Denmark (SMK)<br />
Main expertise: <strong>The</strong> National Gallery of Denmark is Denmark’s main museum of the visual arts and has the<br />
vision of becoming a leading national gallery.<br />
Role: - data provider and WP6 leader: Monitoring and testing.<br />
<strong>The</strong> objective of the museum is to build and maintain collections of Danish and foreign art, primarily art from<br />
Western cultures from the 14 th century to the present. This task is accomplished through the collection,<br />
registration, and preservation of relevant objects, and through research and communication pertaining thereto.<br />
<strong>The</strong> strong incitement to communicate via the internet has resulted in a very proactive outreach to the<br />
museum’s main audience: the public, scholars and colleagues.<br />
Relevant for the Imperialle project is a unique collection at the SMK of prints and drawings, which comprises<br />
more than 245,000 objects. <strong>The</strong> SMK has expertise in paper technology, art historical research, photodigitisation,<br />
and the management of large amounts of data. SMK has been applying advanced IT technology for<br />
almost two decades, the most important recent projects being a contemporary open-source system developed by<br />
CollectionSpace (implementation, testing and project management), digitalisation activities (glass plates to<br />
high-resolution TIFF, library paper archives to online databases), and upgrading projects, advanced web design<br />
as well as technical skills to support the on-site state-of-the-art digital equipment. <strong>The</strong> National Gallery of<br />
Denmark is investing in a five-year developmental programme (SMK-Digital) to bring the museum to the very<br />
forefront of digital arts communication. This communications enterprise is based on the museum’s collections<br />
and the artistic knowledge and expertise that the museum represents by virtue of its position as a leading<br />
research institution. Digital representation of the museum’s collections requires these works to be digitised.<br />
SMK-Digital consists of a series of projects, including a new website for the museum (launched April 2010;<br />
www.smk.dk). <strong>The</strong> online collections give the user online access to the museum’s collections and shows how<br />
museum professionals work with the collections. Another project, “Stories of Art”, plans to add still another<br />
dimension to this dissemination process, in which the art is brought to life (to be launched at the end of 2010 –<br />
with time it will be possible to incorporate Imperialle). A planned art database will make information about the<br />
museum’s collections, research and exhibition activities available online (to be launched in 2011). <strong>The</strong>
