• What does 3D offers to virtual museums? – Digitise existing buildings and objects
– Recreate and visualise the past – Digitally restore museum objects
– Explore virtual spaces
– See evolution in time until today
• Monuments & landscapes are essential part of virtual museums • Provide context of museum objects
• Provide a visual reference framework for 2 people out of 3
