BAROQUE PAINTING

Rembrandt, beyond reality

Rembrandt, beyond reality’ is another way to get to know some works by Rembrandt van Rijn, the best painter of the Dutch Baroque. Thanks to virtual reality we can immerse ourselves in the Rembrandt technique and discover even the smallest detail of six of his best portraits, four drawings and six engravings.

The portraits, five of characters from prosperous cities in the Netherlands and a self-portrait, cover almost 40 years of Rembrandt’s production, showing the evolution of his technique. Drawings as the beginning of his creative process and engravings, a fundamental part of the artist’s production, complete this exhibition.

Great Civilizations: Egypt, Greece and Rome’ Through various sculptures, busts and reliefs of these cultures, the visitor will be able to know the artistic characteristics of each of these civilizations. Seven works in the Egyptian hall, six in the Greek one and another six in the one corresponding to Rome, all of them belonging to the British Museum in London.

IMPRESSIONIST PAINTING

A MUSEUM IN VIRTUAL REALITY

Technology at the service of art


About the Virtual Musem Art (MUVA)

Museo Virtual de Arte  (MUVA) is built thanks to the deep knowledge of virtual reality technology acquired by Binarybox Studios in recent years.

We believe that art must be fully enjoyed and a video or a spherical photo will always lose the essence of the original work. Thanks to virtual reality technology, we can enter this museum and walk among the canvases, the drawings or any other content as if we were really there. We can appreciate the different textures of each work and even come closer to contemplate them just a few centimeters away.

We have created a flexible space, both in content and format, which we can fully adapt for each use or exhibition. Being digital in nature, there are no physical limits when considering new content, which gives the space great versatility.
