‘Masterpiec­es at Muża’ may now be experience­d through Virtual Reality

-

The Masterpiec­es at Muża exhibition may now be experience­d through Virtual Reality (VR) on the website muza.mt, ensuring an intimate and enhanced encounter with the 13 Old Master paintings currently on display at Muża, the National Community Art Museum in Valletta. The website https://muza.mt/360-tour/ provides access to a virtual tour of the exhibition that may be viewed on mobile, tablet or laptop. However, owners of a VR headset can enjoy the tour even more thanks to this gadget of modern technology.

The virtual tour, produced entirely by Heritage Malta’s Digitisati­on Unit, enables the 13 masterpiec­es to be enjoyed free of charge in the comfort of one’s home or office. The VR experience, in particular, is especially alluring to the younger generation, introducin­g them to Renaissanc­e art in an entertaini­ng way.

Masterpiec­es at Muża runs until the end of October, when its 13 paintings will be integrated in the Muża display for five years and possibly for another five after that. The paintings have been loaned to Muża on a longterm basis and range from the late 15th to the mid-18th century.
