• The virtual exhibition consists of projecting one or more works of art onto the walls and/or floor of a room, using video mapping projection that allows the public to enter fully into the work and experience it at 360º, walking and passing through every corner of the room or sitting and relaxing, surrounded by the colours and images projected around and lulled by the background music.
• One or more rooms entirely dedicated to the virtual tour: 3D effects can be projected either in a dedicated room or in small spaces, such as corridors, to create a fun and creative effect.
• Projector: 500/3,000 euros
• Video production: from 10,000 euros

In particular, the technology used is video mapping. It consists of projecting an animation or images onto one or more surfaces, as if they were real screens, in which the projection is not altered, but adapts perfectly to the real surface and creates an artistic and dynamic effect.
Protagonists of the projections are works of art, but not only. This technology makes it possible to play with graphics and create surprising 3D effects that intersect and merge with the work, e.g., plays of light, light and shadow that highlight certain projected elements, geometric figures that move from one point to another, water effects.

2. Interactive educational content on the museum website
In addition to explanatory videos and audios, the museum website offers the possibility to interact and discover more about the history, art and contents it offers. The following image shows an example: an interactive family tree to learn more about Greek Roman mythology.
