Abstract

Today, art history and its interpretation have changed with new museology applications. The potential to understand and perceive art history has changed over the years. Museums, owning large art collections, aim to spread and transmit knowledge in society, while reshaping the meaning of artworks as they maintain experienced-based exhibitions. Art museums also target to increase communication between artworks and visitors and develop programs specialized in their collections. Art museums also have the potential to drive the past into light with their temporary exhibitions and create new ways to understand art history within their exhibitions. Thus, being a new authority, museums add new meanings to the artworks, exhibition designs, classification of artworks, and spreading and transferring knowledge can change the interpretation of art history.
