Microsoft
Microsoft is supporting the Rijksmuseum as a partner since 2023. With the transition from a role as supplier towards partner, Microsoft has now become a knowledge-partner in several projects. Microsoft provides dedicated support for the use of business applications and optimization for these applications related to payment systems, marketing, and CRM purposes. We join forces in the Innovation lab of the Rijksmuseum to pilot new technologies that can improve certain processes within the museum.
We have also started a trajectory for improving accessibility. Microsoft is sharing its expertise with the Rijksmuseum by organizing ‘inclusive design workshops’ for our staff and training AI for the purpose of automatically generating audio descriptions of art works for the blind and low-vision community. In the future we hope to make the entire online collection accessible for people around the world.
