Technology at the Freer and Sackler Galleries - Washington, DC

The Freer and Sackler Galleries, are one of the leading art museums of the Smithsonians that really tries to incorporate technology that furthers the national reach of their mission, cultural programming and events.  They do this exceptionally well through a variety ways which include the use of interactive online exhibitions, podcasts, videos, e-documents, e-calendars, social media, etc.  These features are particularly useful for Asian art researchers across the globe who wouldn't have any other way to access the resources other than the museum's websites.
