Abstract
Because of the current museological tendencies to adjust museum institutions so that they can make use of the new digital media, the application of multimedia for the transfer, storage and distribution
of data is taking on a new dimension in the rapid exchange of information between users and the museum documentation system. One such multimedia aid is the compact disc, which enables
all kinds of information to be brought together onto a single medium.
In the example of a multimedia art monograph Ivan Lovrenčić (2004), it was possible to present all textual information as well as photographic and audio-visual material that had been collected
for the exhibition project. On this CD ROM, the entire documentation of an exhibition has been preserved, and in this manner has produced interactive storage of the museum activity. Because of its ability to store a large number of data, with all the textual and photographic material about the life and work of the artist, AV Þ les are stored on the CD which enable the reconstruction of the
exhibition display and the events accompanying the vernissage, as well as archival and documentary Þ les.It has been proved that multimedia publications are taking on increasingly great documentary value, for this new medium, digital, interactive and
dynamic as it is, gives undreamed-of opportunities for storing various kinds of information about a project, thereby facilitating the increasingly uptodate functioning of the museum.
