ArtLens Wall

The 40-foot interactive, multitouch ArtLens Wall is the only one of its kind and one of the largest in the world. This digital visualization of the collection provides a snapshot of our museum and allows visitors to browse all artworks currently on view, as well as a few selections that are off view. Every 40 seconds the Wall rotates through everything on view, displaying curated selections of artworks grouped in dozens of ways—by type, theme, purpose, shape, color—so you can see how our artworks are related across cultures and time periods. Touch an artwork on the Wall that catches your eye to find out what it is and where it is in the museum. Select the medium, time period, or culture in blue text above the artwork to browse across the museum’s collection without moving from your spot. When you find a favorite, let everyone know by touching the heart icon below the artwork.
