MuPris: Museum of Sarcophagi at the Catacombs of Priscilla in Rome, Italy

MuPris is the museum of sarcophagi located in the Basilica of St. Silvestro in Rome. lt was realised to present the archaeological heritage of the basilica with its tombs and rebuild its historical identity. The museum project has given accessibility to the monument as an architectural space and as a 3D information system for dissemination and learning. The virtual museum MuPris allows the discovery of information about each fragment from their location. A 3D web application, called ISEE Software, is one of the cores of the digital project. This article describes the structure, the idea and the tools used to realize MuPris, with specific reference to its internet usage and to the optimisation of the 3D model, starting from digital survey to the final interactive development.
