In the cultural sector we use digital museum objects every day; in exhibitions, websites, collections management systems, and on our social channels. But, what actually are these objects? Do we understand them as objects in their own right?With their own nature and essence? In this article, I define the digital museum object as a true and faithful digitised image of a physical museum object (in 2D and 3D) or a born digital object. I argue that the continual insistence upon conceptualising the digital museum object in relation to its physical counterpart precludes full understanding of its value and agency. I suggest that recasting and recalibrating how digital museum objects are considered in terms of materiality, authenticity and aura will open collections to more democratised forms of interpretation, and position them as active participants in the formation of transcultural memory (Crownshaw, 2013; Schofield, Foster-Smith, Bozo glu, & Whitehead, 2018). Building on data collected through surveys and semi-structured interviews with museum professionals, I will present an overview of current thought in the sector and make the case for moving forward to models of display that are necessarily aware of their impact on memory-construction and are thus fundamentally polyvocal in nature. WHAT EXACTLY IS A DIGITAL MUSEUM
