Proposta per un museo interattivo della ceramica precolombiana: nuove forme di contatto tra museo e pubblico

The precolumbian ceramic collection at the Natural History Museum of Florence – Anthropology and Ethnology Section, includes 282 artefacts, of which 61 are on exhibit, and 221 preserved in the storerooms. One of the main goals of museums today is the disclosure and the fruition of data related to the museum collections. Therefore, we present in this paper the proposed creation of an interactive museum of the precolumbian ceramic collection. Among the contents of this virtual museum, the public will be able to interact with the digital reproduction of the artefacts, visible in three-dimensions. This virtual museum will be of particular interest to primary and secondary school students. For them, we plan to create an educational section, in which the contents will be presented in a simplified manner through following edutainment principles.
