Fenimore Art Museum in Cooperstown has launched a new digital database showcasing the museum’s nationally renowned collections of fine art, folk art, and “The Thaw Collection of American Indian Art” exhibition. The site dramatically improves online access and representation of the museum’s holdings consisting of more than 2,000 objects and works of art.
The new online site delivers rich, on-demand content about works of art on view and in storage, allowing a broader reach for exploring the collection. Supplemental information also will accompany objects. It is now possible for visitors to determine which works of art are on view in the museum. Additional features include high-resolution object images and the ability to share images and information on social media. Public access also includes the ability for viewers to save their favorite pieces.
