A multimedia narrative project that exploits the potential of new technologies to make art as cognitively accessible as possible to diverse audiences
The Salinas Regional Archaeological Museum in Palermo, the most important and oldest museum institution in Sicily, is at the centre of a project to enhance and promote its collections, related to the history of western Sicily from Prehistory to the Middle Ages.
The catalogue, created to augment the storytelling of the exhibition through podcasts accessible by QR codes, the digitally animated videos, the 360° VR experience of the Metopes of Temple C of Selinunte, the artwall of the Agora and its videos, the Virtual Tour of the exhibition and the dedicated mobile app transform the visit to the museum into a stimulating, engaging and exciting experience, as well as a highly educational one
Highlight:
- Teaser Video
The teaser video, which can be viewed from a monitor in the museum at the start of the tour, provides brief previews of the video content awaiting visitors to the exhibition and narratively introduces the visitor to the museum and the exhibition.
- Agorà
An artistic monitor composition (artwall) with a 3-minute video transmits emotional suggestions thanks to an accurate videos and poems editing (in Italian and English), using the Motion Typography technique, and an evocative narrative voice accompanying the visual aspect.
- The metopes of Temple C – VR Experience
The Virtual Reality experience, usable in Italian and English, provides visitors with details and features of the Metopes of Temple C of Selinunte. The 360° video has been realised with advanced computer graphics (CGI) and 3D modelling technologies. The frieze is presented with the lost polychromes and in the original location of the Temple, guided by the voice of a worshipper from ancient Greece.
- Mobile app
A guide tool for visiting the exhibition, in two languages, Italian and English, downloadable from the store.
On the app you can listen to 41 podcasts, 4 of which are introductory and 37 linked to the narration of the exhibits on show, and open a QR Code scanner to activate the podcasts near the exhibits.
The app includes a section devoted to Greek myths, from which it is possible to watch 6 animated computer graphics videos, which can also be activated via Augmented Reality by framing marker images in the exhibition catalogue. The videos recount the myths of the Cult of Demeter, the Cult of Dionysus, Aphrodite, Athena, Heracles and Zeus in an engaging way.
- Virtual Tour
To make the exhibition accessible and usable over time, a Virtual Tour has been created using Matterport technology.
This can be accessed via the Salinas Museum’s official Mobile App.
Hotspots have been placed within the Virtual Tour, i.e. activation points for additional content, such as short texts or videos, to enrich the virtual visit as well.
