The structure of the Virtual Museum
Concepts and definitions
1
Concepts and definitions
Before entering the technical detail of the
Virtual Museum, it is advisable to remember:
- What is a Virtual Museum.
- Which is the structure .
2
Concepts and definitions
VM concept
VM means a collection of digital resources within the
artistic-cultural field accessible through computerized
tools.
The VM is traditionally considered to be one of the
forms through which one tries to promote and
introduce innovations into interest for the works placed
in the real museum.
3
Concepts and definitions
Virtual Museum definition
Organized collection of digital resources within an artistic cultural
field accessible through:
• computerized tools;
• services as a whole which allow:
-
preservation;
access;
research;
organization.
Maintenance of the collection.
4
Concepts and definitions
Obviously the Virtual Museum can not be considered an
alternative to the real museum but it becomes a
precious tool to be partnered with traditional
institutions by performing their educational and
expository duties.
5
Concepts and definitions
By considering the contents, a VM can be made
up of the digitization of paintings, drawings,
images, photos of objects and/or works, videos,
archeological sites and 3D reconstruction of
architectonical environments.
The VM is made up of both principal cultural
heritage and also secondary representations of
cultural heritage and principal finds.
6
Concepts and definitions
3D models:
• they increase the accessibility of works as they enable
the exhibition of works that are not usually exhibited;
• they facilitate the collocation of every work in its
historical, cultural and environmental context;
• they promote the real museum and increase the
number of its potential visitors;
• They create a faithful record of digital copies.
7
Concepts and definitions
This definition will regard both the informative
systems accessible at a local level and resources
organized to be accessible through the Internet.
In this last case we talk of the Web Museum or
virtual museum.
8
Concepts and definitions
3 typology of Web Museum:
• digital presentation of the real museum;
• virtual visit of a real museum (3D and use of panoramic
360 pictures);
• websites cleared from museum institutions that offer
closer thematic examination and the sharing of professional
knowledge.
9
Concepts and definitions
Some common characteristics from the content’s point of view
1- practical information regarding access, collocation, timetables and in loco services, often put together
with booking or distance purchasing services of access tickets;
2- information regarding the same museum, both from a historiography point of view and from the
institutional one , and from the logistic and spatial (often equipped with maps and photos);
3 – information regarding permanent collections, generally set up from works and finds ’thematic
catalogues or from logistic catalogues linked with the maps in the museum (generally catalogue
descriptions, comments and explanations for every work are given);
4 – information regarding non-permanent exhibitions, usually having the same characteristics of those
regarding collections, to which notes concerning the aims and the theoretical basis of the exhibition are
added, which can trace or summarize the contents of the printed catalogues;
5 – educational tools specifically thought for popular and educational aims, which help to understand a
work or a find, or to carry out a closer examination (it is a question of resources often used in the museums
within the technical scientific field, but much more rare in artistic fields);
6 – sections regarding merchandising activities, sometimes developed to the point of having electronic
systems of commerce.
10
Concepts and definitions
From a technical point of view, directly connected to the typologies of the
browsing interface, the majority of museum systems are based on standard
web technologies, with sized images. The surfing metaphors of the website,
based on sensitive maps are wide spread; they are used to represent the
typology of the real museum.
Examples of more complex sites are not lacking, which use cataloguing
systems of the collections, based on databases and which experiment with
virtual reality solutions with VRML or photographic 3D visualization as
QuickTime VR.
But then, the virtual museum must be imagined as a tool partnering the
traditional museum institution by performing their educational and
expositive duties, as well as a tool of promotion of the same museum.
11
Concepts and definitions
The interactive and hypermedia nature of the Web is
suitable for giving all users all context information which
facilitate the historical comprehension of a find or a
work.
At this level even a technology of virtual reconstruction,
considered by experts to be of low level as the one
enabled by VRML, can be useful to give an idea of the
real environment, for example, where an archeological
find was ( the kind of information which is lost in most of
the museum exhibition where finds are usually placed
inside display cabinets or glass cases).
12
Concepts and definitions
Briefly let’s list some new typologies and further methodologies to
support the transmission from the traditional Museum, to the virtual
museum:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
video feeds;
databases and online archives;
multimedia and interactive guides;
CD-ROMs;
DVD-ROMs;
multimedia terminals and work stations;
audio and video guides;
virtual museums.
13
Concepts and definitions
Virtual Museum – Added value
• It stimulates and deepens knowledge of the work.
• It enables the creation of multimedia collections.
• It contextualizes the works.
• It gives the opportunity to work outside the referring territories.
• It enables a better safeguard of originals.
• It gives the opportunity of researching and analyzing.
• It enables the evaluation of works and/or finds otherwise
inaccessible.
14
Concepts and definitions
To create the VM the three main steps are:
• creating a suitable web interface;
• inserting meta-data;
• database settlement.
15
Concepts and definitions
Why then creating a virtual site
This is a question that many people could ask, especially in all the fields where the modernity of
the tool is far from the antiquity of the content. The more immediate explanations can be found
below:
1. To Propose a new way to read the contents: themes discussed before through traditional
ways are taken brought into new technologies;
2. To reach new public: a website can reach new categories of people, who are physically far
from the museum or out from the usual target of the museum’s initiatives;
3. To help or to consolidate the visit: the website is meant as a tool to set the visit at the
museum itself, as it allows a better understanding of the importance of the exhibited objects and
to plan a route according to one’s own desires;
4. To experiment the Virtual Museum: by experiencing the “virtual exhibitions” it is possible
to investigate the charming problem of the relation among the Museum, visitors, exhibited objects
and their representation. The experiments with the virtual museum will teach something about the
core nature of the real museum;
5. To entertain: personal pleasure is something that should not be forgotten when deciding to set
up a new activity. The Web is fun: it allows us to use our imagination , to experiment many
different things and to develop a deep relation with one’s own public.

The structure of the Virtual Museum
Virtual Museum construction: SWOT analysis
17
Virtual Museum construction:
SWOT analysis
Why use the “SWOT methodology”?
18
Virtual Museum construction:
SWOT analysis
SWOT methodology of museum websites
SWOT analysis is a model used to obtain a
particular result (in this case the European
Virtual Museum), so SWOT is fundamental
when trying to make a decision.
19
Virtual Museum construction:
SWOT analysis
The simple tool of SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses,
Opportunities and Threats) has been chosen as a
main road for a pilot project (F-MUSEUM - Form
Multimedia System for a European Museum LLPLDV/TOI/07/IT/016).
These tools offer a portrait of internal and external
structures, of rules and relations, and invites us to
take decisions aimed at reaching a strategic target by
using a managerial, systematic framework.
20
Virtual Museum construction:
SWOT analysis
The list of strengths and weaknesses paint the portrait of the existing situation,
while opportunities and threats help understand what the museum could turn
into in the future ( for example a prototype of virtual museum).
From a detailed analysis of the virtual museums in the Web, data has come
out, which makes us understand how a website of a virtual museum should be
created.
the SWOT analysis is made up of these criteria:
•
•
•
•
Strengths
Weaknesses
Opportunities
Threats
21
Virtual Museum construction:
SWOT analysis
What are the results of SWOT analysis?
The SWOT analysis on some museum’s websites have
turned up a range of reflections which justify the main
reason to create the F- Museum project, which has as
main goal of highlighting, especially from a
technological point of view, the museums in question
and their archeological finds.
22
Virtual Museum construction:
SWOT analysis
The results generated by the SWOT analysis point out the “weaknesses”
in all the analyzed websites, that is:
• Web structure roughly functional;
• no specific expertise in creating a particular pedagogical museum;
• insufficient computer functionalities (ITC);
• opportunity to surf the Website in just a few languages;
• the absence of skilled staff in running pedagogical themes and in the
virtual diffusion.
23
Virtual Museum construction:
SWOT analysis
• Visibility on the website of a small part of the collections of
finds in the museum.
• No experience in Virtual merchandising.
• Insufficient knowledge of the management of a Virtual
Museum.
• Tool shortage, as professional photographic laboratories.
• 3D image shortage.
• Absence of a connection among the inserted objects.
24
Virtual Museum construction:
SWOT analysis
Let’s go into detail, what are the “Strengths”?
• Strong experience in the research area.
• Several experiences in projects related to digitalizing museum items and in creating
the Museum web site.
• Collection partially digitalized.
• Several multimedia products available (CD, DVD).
• High number of visitors.
• Strong experience in the organization of exhibitions and cultural events.
• Huge and important collection.
25
Virtual Museum construction:
SWOT analysis
Besides “filling up” partial or total ICT gaps that emerged thanks to
the SWOT analysis, it will be necessary to give a wide visibility to
objects and related museums.
An identity card of the finds in the museum, aimed at illustrating
these same finds, which will have to be fulfilled by partner museums.
There will be a reserved area where every partner museum will be
able to insert new contributions and to give new updates on
information regarding one’s own museum and the finds in it.
Every museum will have the opportunity to autonomously create a
web space within the project website F-MUSEUM, where it will be
able to upload both objects and information regarding the same
museum.
26
Virtual Museum construction:
SWOT analysis
Let’s go into detail, what are the “Weaknesses”?
•
Web presence externally controlled.
• No specific staff specialized in preparing specific pedagogic museum.
• Little internal ITC competences.
• No staff with specific skills in elaborating and communicating educational contents.
• A lot of Web sites available only in national language.
• No practical experience in the Virtual merchandising.
• Lack of tools as a professional photographic laboratory.
27
Virtual Museum construction:
SWOT analysis
Let’s go into detail, what are the “Opportunities”?
• Good experience in cataloguing, copying and archiving which
could easily be migrated to the virtual museum market.
• Much experience in archiving and cataloguing material which
can help in migrating to a Virtual Museum.
• Some design and development competences which can help in
migrating to a Virtual Museum.
28
Virtual Museum construction:
SWOT analysis
Let’s go into detail, what are the “Threats”?
•
•
•
•
•
Technical competences of human resources to be improved.
Not prepared for running and managing a Virtual Museum.
Human resources with any ITC competences.
No relevant experience in joint projects.
Staff needing to be trained in ICTs.

THE VIRTUAL MUSEUM
DEFINITIONS AND ANALYSIS
Trust s.r.l. - Maurizio Semplice
Definitions
In general, a Virtual Museum is:
• a website focused on a Museum
• a cultural website, not necessarily linked to a real Museum
• a virtual tour of a real Museum
(3D and 360° displays)
The aims of our project
The main goal of our project is to analyse and exceed the past
definitions of the VM and to work out both a theoretical and
practical synthesis, so as to realise a
network of thematic museums on line,
where each museum can contribute at the implementation of a
specific cultural theme, following the principles of the “social
group network”, within which each subject nourishes the
knowledge demand and direct the user towards different and new
thematic researches to which other content providers can
answer.
The aims of our project
• to work out a synthesis of the most common definitions of VM
• to harmonize the existing definitions and experiences with a
new project
• to realise a VM as “an on line network of thematic museums”
Developments 1/3
The VM is essentially a narrative model
since
It is not exclusively focused (and it might not be) on the
preservation of works as the traditional model is (permanent
museum).
Developments 2/3
Further potentialities:
• to aggregate – ideally – similar and/or related works and
objects that are geographically located in different places (also
very far from each others);
• to re-create places that have been destroyed, are scattered or
have never been realised.
Developments 3/3
….it all means that
It is possible to show works, following criteria different from the
ones usually adopted by the permanent Museums.
Added value of the VM
• To create countless matchings and links “per theme”;
• To create and suggest different paths for close examinations
(analysis/studies)
Synthesis
• The VM is a network system.
• It is a path supporting the individual knowledge, which
benefits of the potentialities offered by a network system.
• Who enters a VM proceeds following the rules of that mental
process working through the association of ideas.

Virtual Museum
AIMS OF F-MUSEUM PORTAL
VIRTUAL MUSEUM – GENERAL INFO
Our VM is a thematic collection of works of art coming
from different Museums located in 7 European countries
(RO, BG, IT, GR, AU, D, HU).
In fact, the portal includes both the artefacts collected in
the previous project and the ones related to the new
partnership.
For this reason our VM is also a network in itself.
VIRTUAL MUSEUM – GENERAL INFO
The thematic collection and the Network are based on a
Content Management System which organises the
information that each partner uploads directly in the
system.
The Virtual Museum could not exist without this System
so, in a way, we can say that it is the main output of the
project, since it represents
the “meeting point” among training experience,
networking, communication and technology.
VIRTUAL MUSEUM – GENERAL INFO
The System created offers the chance to users to visit the
VM choosing among the following different paths (research
criteria):
•
•
•
•
•
chronology
geographic zone
objects
museums
routes
VM - Output of the search
In particular:
• Artefacts name
• Typology
• Chronology
• Museum of origin
• Period
• Description
• Object Preview (with zoom function)
For each piece of work is possible to read further detailed
information on the object
WHERE IS IT AND MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
(e.g. material, method of manufacture, decoration type, etc.)
STATE (preservation, restauration, completeness)
DIMENSIONS (lenght, hight, diameter, thickness, weight, widht)
PERIOD OF USE (e.g. epoque, culture, phase, etc.)
DISCOVERY (e.g. country, district, etc.)
DEEPENINGS
(e.g. morphology of the object, decoration, analogies, interpretation,
bibliography, etc.
Output: Object Identity Card
All the information above mentioned
constitute the object “Identity Card”
and can be read by users in the 3
partnership national languages (RO,
BG, IT) plus the related English
version.
Routes
Among the thematic paths (research criteria) available, we
have created a specific one called “routes”.
These routes are a sort of Hypertext implying stories
linked to the works of art, articulated in the following
different themes:
•
•

F-MUSEUM: structure and referring
typology of the portal
The F-Museum portal (LLP-LDV/TOI/07/IT/016
- FORM-Multimedia system for a European
museum) is a space where users have the
chance to learn how to create a virtual museum
and to explore its different dissemination and
scientific communication opportunities.
61
F-MUSEUM: structure and referring
typology of the portal
At the same time, it represents a “meeting and
exchange point” available for a community
(partner and beneficiary museums) involved in
the valorization of its own cultural heritage
towards different targets (scientific and not
scientific ones), using a new modality (digital)
aimed at fostering the transfer of knowledge
and, most of all, the valorization of cultural
heritage through a channel having wide
communication and sharing potentialities.
62
F-MUSEUM: structure and referring
typology of the portal
Furthermore, the portal answers to some subordinate but
strategic goals, as the valorisation of activities aimed at
divulging the digital culture, that is, to focus and clarify all
potentialities of the information keys underlined in the project
mission and main goals. In particular:
•to promote the computer literacy and the “digital
inclusion”;
•to disseminate this culture within a museum context;
•to develop new didactic contents and new teaching
methods, using the digital technologies;
•to promote innovation within museums context;
•to foster the use of technologies among the cultural
operators and public, so as to make room for all activities
directly linked to the project and to the partnership
involved, creating a sort of virtual community for
information and learning (thematic Think Tank for
computer literacy and digital inclusion).
63
F-MUSEUM: structure and referring
typology of the portal
By synthesis, the project for the creation
of the F-Museum portal includes:
•Guidelines on the use of the Virtual Museum
•How to create a Virtual Museum
•Training to know the principles and the object
to be created (the Museum)
•Creation of a Community to exchange
experiences and working papers
•Valorization of the digital information platform
•Promotion of online working groups and
exchange of information, data and ideas among
the museum partners, through reserved areas.
64
F-MUSEUM: structure and referring
typology of the portal
The website we have implemented, represents an answer to ICT
gaps (in terms of competences, knowledge and abilities) shown
by the SWOT Analysis we have applied to Museum websites that
are project partner or project beneficiaries.
First, the goal to be achieved is the one of providing all partners
with an opportunity to experiment and adopt innovative training
practices, technologically advanced. Furthermore, it will be
necessary to give wide visibility to all archaeological finds
available in each Museum, by an Identity Card, aimed at
illustrating them, that will have to be filled in by the museums
that are project partner. This will be made possible through a
reserved area, where each museum could upload new
contributions and update the information concerning itself and
the finds available.
Acting on the double dimension of the training intervention (the
courseware planned) and of the service (realisation of images,
captions, guided surfing routes and content related to the
collections), the Model and the related outputs appear to be
coherent with a transfer of innovation process.
