The multitude of offers across Europe is amazing. Why not try the 3D tour of Croatian Cultural Heritage, enjoy the work of thousands of European archives, libraries and museums having digitised vast collections of the Cultural Heritage at Europeana; many items are in 3D too.
The EU has supported research and innovation projects developing 3D applications, Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) for many years. This is bearing fruit with many cultural outlets now offering virtual tours online. The list below offers examples of innovative experiences of culture.
