NEW DELHI: For improved artefact conservation, the Central Government intends to finish 3D digitising all museums under its administrative authority by this year end.
Leading institutions in this category include the Victoria Memorial Hall, the National Museum, the Salar Jung Museum in Hyderabad, the Allahabad Museum in Prayagraj, the Indian Museum in Kolkata, and the National Gallery of Modern Art.
The Culture Ministry has under its ambit 10 museums, including those mentioned above. Apart from these, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) also has site museums at 44 locations spread throughout the country in proximity to important archaeological sites.
Besides aiding conservation, 3D digitisation in the museum space can offer visitors new ways to access and explore the collection. 3D models can be used in augmented reality and virtual reality learning experiences, and facilitate 3D printing.
