Abstract

Preserving cultural heritage artefacts represents one of the most important functions of a museum, along with making known these proofs of history to the general public. One of the methods of both preserving and promoting history is represented by 3D digitizing technologies applied in the field of cultural heritage. 3D Digitisation of Icons of European Architectural and archaeological Heritage (3D Icons) project is a pilot project funded under the European Commission’s ICT Policy Support Programme, built on the results of CARARE and 3D-COFORM. The implication of the Romanian National History Museum in this project, as a full-time member, gave us the opportunity, for the first time, to test and implement the 3D technology in a public institution, such as a museum. In this paper, we would like to present the impact that 3D Icons project had on our understanding of the value of these technologies for cultural heritage. Presented as a study-case, the Romanian experience within 3D Icons project will focus on the technologies used for obtaining 3D models, the outcome and the ways of promoting them via the web.
