Episode 046 - Michal Čudrnák (Slovak National Gallery) on building in-house teams, public-private partnerships, sector support, and the role digital can play in enhancing the in-person experience

Digital Works Podcast

In this episode Ash chats to Michal Čudrnák Head of Digital Collections & Services at the Slovak National Gallery.
We talk about the history of the gallery, and how the Digital team has grown and evolved over recent years. We talk about the interesting and somewhat unique role that the Slovak National Gallery plays in supporting the wider Slovak cultural sector with digital tools and expertise. We look at the role of digital in supporting in-person attendance, and how designing for this context is very different from 'fully remote' experiences.
Michal explains of the different ways that his team works with other organisations, on collaborative projects with the cultural sector in Slovakia and further afield, and we explore some examples of public-private relationships that they are exploring.
