MacArthur, Matthew view

Digital Experience Team Lead

In my capacity I oversee the museum's website operations and work with others to manage our digital outreach efforts. Our department works with staff from across the museum to develop ideas, create compelling content, and deliver products that reach wide and varied audiences on multiple platforms. I also think about the museum’s digital strategy—how we can further the museum’s mission by leveraging our rich collections and expert staff, in collaboration with partners and audiences, to create engaging, multidirectional experiences that empower people to create a just and compassionate future by exploring, preserving, and sharing the complexity of our past.
