Archaeological objects to be displayed

Ename, the lost city

• Archaeological park & Heritage Centre– Virtual reconstruction of 16 periods

(evolution through 1000 years of history)

– 70 years of research, 25 years of excavation

– Procedural 3D modelling of buildings (ArchiCAD)

– Animation & free form objects (Blender)

– Procedural landscape simulation (Vue)

– Interactive storytelling on onsite kiosk (TimeFrame)

• Story of the lost city – Creation of cities and economic activity around 1000 AD

– Major city in the making, 2 churches, capital of large area

– Taken by surprise, destroyed, never recovered

Smart Historical City

• Today history and art are confined in museums– Preservation and research

– Objects and information out of context

• Technology creates major paradigm shift– Perception is detached from presence

– Ubiquitous information

– Location based services (GPS)

– Affordable!

• Why not have the city as museum?– Museums as knowledge institutions and reference/starting points

– Explore the city and experience history


• Technology brings history outside museum walls– Augmented reality

– Creating believable virtual cityscapes & landscapes

– Creating believable virtual live

– Represent objects in an appealing way

– Large repositories & portals (e.g. Europeana)

• Storytelling– No better story than the real, historical story

– Authenticity of the story or storyline

– Authenticity of the place

– Non-linear storytelling (location & interest based) ~ Facebook


• Value of a museum? – The unique selling point of a museum = its collection

– The unique asset of a museum = its knowledge

– The unique offering of a museum = its story

• Museums should be– Providing experiences (spatial, emotional, intellectual) in house

– Providing the larger context (web, mobile apps, publications)

– Link objects with the larger story

Digital museum objects

• Other “instance” of the museum object– Not the real object

– But more added value than the real object

– Digital restoration

– Storytelling

• Recontextualisation– Put the object back in the city

– Tell the story on the spot
