3D printing has become a widespread technology that allows the creation of physical objects from different materials. The conservation and restoration of Cultural Heritage field has recently introduced this technology as a complement to its traditional methods. However, the main concern in the application of 3D printing in this context is the long‐term behavior of the materials used. The key objective of this research was the identification of the suitability of 3D printing filaments for conservation purposes. The methodology followed in this study consisted of a selection of 13 3D printing filaments for Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technologies, which were tested and exposed to an accelerated aging procedure. In order to classify and recommend the materials that present better results, the properties of color, the glossiness, the pH and the Volatile Organic Compounds emission were investigated. This paper collects the results of the analyses carried out, focusing discussion on the colorimetric behavior. The results demonstrate the usefulness of some of the materials studied, highlighting the performance of EP as one of the most stable and reliable materials while Flex is one of the most changeable ones in the Cultural Heritage context. Even though this research provides an overview of the aging of the materials studied, further analyses should be performed to understand the chemical composition and its behavior when exposed to a long‐lasting aging process.

Research on technology and museum visitor experiences has experienced exponential growth. Despite this, limited studies explicitly examine existing progress in research on the intersection between technology and museum visitor experiences. Specifically, there is limited understanding of how topics studied, and the concepts, theories, models, and frameworks embedded within have evolved in congruence with the forms and types of technology integrated into museum research across time. Consequently, this paper applied a systematic quantitative approach to assess trends in research on technology and museum visitor experiences by critically examining 122 studies. Findings revealed a clear shift of the concepts studied, with early literature focused on basic concepts such as learning and interaction with technology. As the body of knowledge matured, other concepts such as intention and behaviour emerged in discourse, with contemporary literature exploring satisfaction, enjoyment, and virtual presence. Despite this, limited consistency in theories, models, and frameworks applied across time, which reflected a stagnation in stimulating critical discussions in the existing discourse. Furthermore, the forms and types of technology used in studies on museum visitor experiences have shifted from basic computer displays, through to innovative smart technology. This research provides the first attempt to holistically classify and synthesise the evolution of research on technology designed to enhance museum visitor experiences. Five types of technology in the museum sector and a Four Stage Model of Evolution consisting of (I) ICT Incubation; (II) Smart Technology Adoption; (III) ICT Transformation; and (IV) Futuristic Innovation were proposed, which demarcates the evolution of the body of knowledge.

“…Given the connectivity of the human brain and the intimate relationship between all the senses, a multisensory experience is the one that is most valued among accessible arts (59). The aforementioned approach has become more popular in recent years with technological development (58,(60)(61)(62). One of the most popular combinations is tactile objects, such as tactile pictures, samples of art, replicas of objects depicted in the artwork, and audio descriptions (63).…”

IntroductionArt in healthcare facilities shows promising results in improving patients' health and well-being and, as such, meets the WHO's definition of health technology. Yet, it remains unclear if healthcare art equally benefits all users. Given the growing number of visually impaired people (VIP), it is valuable to determine whether healthcare art is accessible to VIP and to explore strategies for improving it.MethodsThis study employed a mixed methodology, which included (1) secondary research of 25 cases of healthcare art programmes to identify the presence of accessible art in healthcare facilities and the practices that influence it; (2) review of thirty-one Health Building Notes and four supplementary British guidelines on healthcare art to discover if the accessibility of art is required and identify which recommendations influence it; and (3) interview surveys of healthcare art practitioners from three London NHS Trusts to identify opportunities to increase arts accessibility.Results and discussionThe evidence showed that healthcare art programmes were mostly inaccessible to VIP. Most healthcare art programmes did not involve VIP in the commissioning process and, thus, lacked procedures that could facilitate accessibility. There were not enough recommendations in the healthcare facility guidelines to support the accessibility of arts for VIP. The recommendations on artwork in healthcare facility guidelines could increase accessibility if particular conditions were met. Interviews with NHS trusts in London revealed numerous opportunities to improve arts accessibility for healthcare art programmes.
