After decades of digitization, large cultural heritage collections have emerged on the web, which contain massive stocks of content from galleries, libraries, archives, and museums. This increase in digital cultural heritage data promises new modes of analysis and increased levels of access for academic scholars and casual users alike. Going beyond the standard representations of search-centric and grid-based interfaces, a multitude of approaches has recently started to enable visual access to cultural collections, and to explore them as complex and comprehensive information spaces by the means of interactive visualizations. In contrast to conventional web interfaces, we witness a widening spectrum of innovative visualization types specially designed for rich collections from the cultural heritage sector. This new class of information visualizations gives rise to a notable diversity of interaction and representation techniques while lending currency and urgency to a discussion about principles such as serendipity, generosity, and criticality in connection with visualization design. With this survey, we review information visualization approaches to digital cultural heritage collections and reflect on the state of the art in techniques and design choices. We contextualize our survey with humanist perspectives on the field and point out opportunities for future research.

“…We chose to use the Web Gallery of Art (WGA) 4 as the data source of classic paintings for our in-game museums. The primary reason for choosing the WGA collection was that we had already used it in our other research on providing access to artwork Goldfarb et al 2011]. This data collection features information on approximately 18,000 different works of art by approximately 2,200 (mostly European) artists.…”

Games have become an integral part of today's culture, most obviously among younger people. At the same time, learning games have proved that they can be a source of enjoyment and are, if well-made, powerful tools for communicating knowledge. For cultural heritage projects targeted to raising the awareness of the general public, the integration of interactivity and innovative storytelling techniques can be supporting elements to capture their target audiences' enthusiasm. In particular, games that deal with art history have particular flaws in integrating motivating elements. This observation led us to the development of the 3D online learning game, ThIATRO, that immerses the player an exhibition and, as a side-effect communicates knowledge of art history concepts to the player. Its playful approach not only increases motivation to learn but also raises interest in art history and cultural heritage in general. We provide an overview of the design ideas behind ThIATRO and summarize the results of evaluations conducted with a group of 14-year-old pupils in a classroom environment. The results indicate that ThIATRO changes the player's aesthetic response and allows him or her to perceive art on a deeper level.

“…A distinction has to be made between data visualization, information visualization and scientific visualization. This is certainly also because terms seem to be used synonymously in different scientific disciplines (Dörk, 2008;Goldfarb et al, 2011). As Dörk (2008) defines, the difference between information visualization and scientific visualization depends on the data to be visualized: "Scientific visualization is mainly concerned with the visual representation of data that has some kind of inherent spatial structure.…”

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> The interdisciplinary research group on four-dimensional research and communication of urban history (Urban History 4D) aims to investigate and develop methods and technologies to access extensive repositories of historical media and their contextual information in a spatial model, with an additional temporal component. This will make content accessible to different target groups, researchers and the public, via a 4D Browser and an Augmented Reality app for mobile devices. One goal is to improve the accessibility of media repositories and develop suitable solutions for data preparation and information research, making extensive use of visualizations. An interdisciplinary approach is taken to ensure that visualizations for research are comprehensible and meet scientific standards. The investigation of spatial visualizations of image repositories and their visual representation in a coherent context includes frequencies, directions, and perspectives within the image material, which can be grasped through quantitative methods. This paper introduces two main investigations into (1) quantitative data visualization with photography and (2) the plausibility and perception of 3D reconstructions.</p>
