Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies provide remarkable 
opportunities for museums to learn more about their visitors, play with 
their collection data, and together influence how people experience a 
museum. Artificial intelligence and the potential impact of these 
technologies in enhancing the user experience have gained an 
increasingly important presence at the past few Computer Museum 
Networks conferences. This article will reflect the emergence of 
artificial intelligence in museums and its role in museum operations as 
these tools become widely used. As a result of these implications, this 
article will look at the practical implications of artificial intelligence 
and how museums can become informed consumers of these emerging 
technologies.
Smart museums aim to attract more people (children and adults) 
through augmented reality technology that helps the visitor to 
understand a work of art or to get easier information about the creator. 
Today's e-learning applications that use augmented reality.
Nowadays, the development of technology where Augmented Reality 
(AR) ranks first in the list of most used technologies as far as in the 
gaming industry as well as for applications based on the concept of 
educational software applied in cultural heritage. The Smart Museums 
project aims to attract people of all ages to visit.
