The Virtual Museum of the University's Cultural Heritage of The Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico

January 1, 2008 | Media and Technology, Professional Development, Conferences, and Networks
The Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), as an active cultural promoter, implemented a virtual museum system in order to help and develop expression related to art, science and humanities. The UNAM's cultural heritage is, as in many other universities, a vast number of different kinds of objects, ranging from painting and sculpture to numismatics and architecture, from traditional art to modern multimedia-based exhibits to Scientific Collections. It is impossible to exhibit it all in a single place in an orderly fashion. The Virtual Museum of the University's Cultural Heritage (VMUCH) is a dynamic interactive space where users navigate and interact with UNAM's cultural, scientific and historical heritage in 3D real-time space.
