My PhD research was about archaeological open-air museums across Europe; the quality as perceived by visitors and as offered by the museum.
Being the director of EXARC the international organisation of those museums I travel around Europe a lot visiting these places.

the OpenArch project was created within the EU Culture Programme. This fi ve year project connects
Archaeological Open-Air Museums from eight European countries, among which Viminacium is the
only Archaeological Park. Many activities have been held in Viminacium since the beginning of the
project, including two international symposia, experiments and staff exchanges. All these have brought
great benefi ts to the experience of the management of the Viminacium Archaeological Park and to its
promotion among national and international audiences, as well as to the OpenArch partners, better
informing them about the challenges of popularising archaeology in the Balkans.

The museums use basic techniques which are as old as the first archaeology and cannot be seen separately from archaeological findings.
EXARC, with over 220 members in 30+ countries, is the international umbrella network for such museums and is an ICOM affiliated organization (www.exarc.net).

Compared to other fields where these methods have been applied, archaeology has been, and still is, more resistant to integrating tools and instruments able to describe materials and scenarios with high resolution. This is partly due to the archaeological misconception of high cost of scientific equipment and the complexity in managing an entire pipeline of data processing. 3D data can be used to describe a huge quantity of information in a single model, and with that, can radically change the traditional way of investigating and interpreting an archaeological context. In this work we explore the potential of using 3D documentation to interpret an archaeological context. Moreover, we try to investigate how a 3D digital methodology can be completely integrated and managed with reasonable costs by archaeologists during an excavation. Furthermore, we test visualization tools such as a cave (an immersive, with the specific purpose to understand how the comprehension
