Virtual museum tour

We bring the Museum under your fingertips!

New, Silverlight version available now!

The virtual tour is based on Windows Presentation Foundation technology. It requires a powerful computer with a good DirectX 9 graphics card. Please check the system requirements below before running the application.

Now you have the chance to view our art collection from your comfy chair at home during a virtual museum tour!

Walk as you please in our online gallery, that was inspired by the Museum of Fine Art itself. Visit all the exhibition rooms and click on the paintings hanging on the walls to view the collections chosen from the finest the Museum of Fine Arts can offer.

Every piece of art is accompanied by detailed information to give you the feeling you are on an extensive giuded tour. You’ll just have to click once more and you’ll be presented a spectacular 3D presentation of the collection.

Choose an avatar, sign in and walk throught the chamber of the virtual museum. Doing so you can meet other visitors around the place being signed in at the same time. You can walk up to them and engage in a conversation with them using the new chat function.

We present our statues alongside the pictures as well. These treasures of the antique world will be collected together in a codex application later – now we show you the pages of this codex framed and put on the virtual walls.

Naturally this virtual tour does not substitute a real museum visit as the content of the collections and their placement does not cover the experience you would get in the real Museum of Fine Arts.
Visit our museum after this virtual teaser tour to see our full collection of fine art!
