It used to be so simple: Museums collected works of art and sometimes they photographed them digitally for documentary or interpretational purposes. Increasingly, however, objects these days may be 'born digital'. They have never existed in any other form. This is the case with the work of Michael Kelly, an award-winning medical imaging expert. Some of his works of art have been 'donated' to the Museum electronically and in this online exhibition we share his work with you.
