요약: 본 연구는 코로나 19 팬데믹 시대에 전통적인 박물관과 미술관이 디지털 모드와 전자적 서비스로 어떻게 전환되고 있는지에 대한 조사를 통해 디지털 박물관 및 미술관 운영 방안을 모색해 보고자 하였다. 구체적으로, 이러한 위기에 처한 박물관‧미술관을 이해하기 위한 질적연구 방법으로 전 세계에서 선별한 박물관 및 미술관들의 다양한 운영전략과 과제, 권장사항 그리고 관련 문헌과 보고서를 조사 분석하였다. 이를 통한 본 연구 결과 첫째, 디지털 박물관 및 미술관이 디지털 및 e-서비스 이용을 개선하는데 유익하며, 둘째, 팬데믹으로 인한 경제적 손실을 상쇄하는 데 도움이 됨을 밝혔다. 셋째, 또한 다양한 역사와 문화에 대한 교육학습법을 개선하는데 기여하고, 넷째, 코로나19 팬데믹에 대한 인식을 높이는 데 도움이 되었으며, 다섯째, 디지털 커뮤니티를 통한 포용성과 개방성을 제공하였다. 본 연구는 예술의 지속가능성을 위해 디지털 박물관 및 미술관으로의 전환이 필요하다고 주장함으로써 그에 따른 기관 경영을 어떻게 진행할 것인가에 대한 몇 가지를 제안하였다.
