The Archaeological Park of Herculaneum is working
on the creation of the Digital Museum (MuDE): a real
digital ecosystem of cultural heritage, with a marked emphasis on the
integration between real and virtual to capture the interest of new audiences
and make the experience of the visit is more exciting even for those who are
already passionate about history and archaeology. An “open” database of
knowledge of the Herculaneum heritage, both at a scientific level and for a
public of non-experts. The intent is to substantially expand the cultural offer
of the Park and at the same time make a plurality of
structured data, floor plans, 3D models, virtual reconstructions,
high-resolution photographs, archival documentation and scientific content
accessible.
In fact, the service contract that starts the activities
of the MuDE (Digital Museum of Herculaneum), the
planning of which was carried out by the Packard Humanities Institute thanks to
a collaboration with the Herculaneum Park in return for European funding for
digitisation from the Ministry of Culture, was signed recently.
Users will have the possibility to dynamically
access all the information available on a specific topic, artifact
or archaeological context by easily linking the information of their interest.
The MuDE platform will allow each user to build their
own virtual or real thematic itinerary within the archaeological area.
Technology, interoperability of data and more generally of knowledge,
enhancement of the territory, services for citizens, employment prospects for
operators in the sector, sustainable and inclusive development are the
objectives to which the entire project aims.
