Episode 4/6 Technological Secrets in Museums

Conversations in the Attic

Museums are leveraging innovative technologies to preserve and display historical artifacts and works of art in groundbreaking ways. X-ray scanners allow researchers to examine hidden layers beneath paintings and objects, revealing details about the artist's creative process and the history of the artifact. 3D reconstruction can create digital models of damaged or lost artifacts, giving museums the ability to showcase complete representations of objects to visitors. Artificial intelligence is used to identify artifacts, authenticate works of art, and predict and prevent the deterioration of artifacts. Virtual and augmented reality enable visitors to interact with history and culture on exciting new levels, letting them walk through ancient cities, explore Egyptian tombs, and learn about historical objects in a more immersive way.
