The desire to reach new audiences led the museum at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries to significant institutional changes. The COVID-19 pandemic has added new challenges to the task of maintaining contact with these audiences. How has interaction between the museum and the public evolved in the era of the pandemic? What changes are taking place in museums due to this interaction? Is the representation of people with disabilities in contemporary museum practices one of the effects of this interaction?
