Etruscanning 3D
Start date: May 1, 2011,

In this project a consortium of museums and research organizations from 3 European countries explore the possibilities of new visualization techniques, in order to give a new perspective on the ancient European culture of the Etruscans. The project has two main objectives: - International cooperation in the development of presentation techniques, to be presented during an exhibition in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, and for permanent use in Italian museums.- 3D visualization (scanning, reconstruction and presentation) of Etruscan tombs and collections.The project aims at improving the creation, access, management, sustainability and preservation of Virtual Heritage on Etruscan collections and to improve an effective knowledge dissemination. It will enable and support cultural heritage institutions to create, run and exchange digital 3D reconstructions. The groundbreaking inter-connection among the research field of 3D visualization, users and archaeological museums will be obtained through a program of meetings and by monitoring the process of creating, producing and the implementation of the 3D visualizations. For the first time innovative 3D techniques will be used to make reconstruction of Etruscan tombs, that will enable the museums to present the context of Etruscan grave tombs in a new way and to a large public, in order to better show and understand these tombs as well as their archaeological objects. The partners will bridge the gap between museums and visual media production companies: they will cooperate in the production and, most importantly, the dissemination of the 3D reconstructions. The 3D visualizations will form a prominent part of the exhibition in the participating museums. After the closing of the last exhibition, the visualizations will be presented to Italian museums as a new media addition to their museum galleries. If this pilot project proves successful, similar cooperation projects will be made possible.
