Abstract: Abstract Global society has experienced a radical transformation due to massive social, demographic, technological, and economic shifts in recent years. Today, there are questions about how technology will affect society in the future. New technological equipment and tools have started to be used in museums. Contemporary museums cannot be imagined without such technical achievements, hence the use of these technological innovations in museums is very significant to reflect the features and characteristics of this era. The main reason for the use of the most advanced technology in museums originates from collaboration between universities, museums, and the private sector. The use of information and communication technology at the beginning of the 21st century is important for museums. This chapter examines areas where technology is used in museums and considers exhibitions organized recently utilizing technology in Turkish museums.
