Nationalmuseum in 3D

The Nationalmuseum, situated in the heart of Sweden’s capital Stockholm, boasts a vast collection of heritage gathered not just from the nation, but featuring important artworks from across the globe.





   

With an impressively vast range of unique objects and artworks in their collection, as well as the expert care every artefact is given, the museum receives a lot of international visitors and attention. This attention includes Scan the World, who has worked in collaboration with the museum to help in their mission to liberate their collection into the public domain. 




   

Cultural institutions aren’t always easily accessed in the physical. This can be because of a range of external circumstances, whether it be geographical, political, temporary exhibitions or others matters which limit admission to cultural heritage institutions. By digitising museum artefacts in 3D we are able to liberate them by bringing collections beyond the limits of a museum’s walls and into your hands.

So how can we make global heritage more accessible to everybody? The internet is a good place to start. Scan The World’s collaborations with museums and constant support from its community has helped pave the way to grant the public access to objects from across the globe in a tangible way, from the comfort of your own home.
