TAG (Touch Art Gallery) created by Brown University in partnership with Microsoft Research, is a way for museums, libraries, and other collectors to display collections of 2D artworks and manuscripts too large or too fragile to display, or otherwise inaccessible. It allows visitors to explore high resolution images using Microsoft’s Deep Zoom technology, related material selected by the curator, and interactive tours authored in TAG itself.

Touch Art Gallery includes an authoring interface for museum curators and other content aggregators to compile and contextualize their content on a dedicated TAG server. Access to this interface (via the button in the lower left corner of the start page) is therefore limited to these individuals. If you wish to author and publish content in TAG, please contact us at [email protected] about setting up a TAG server on which you can access the authoring interface.
