Virtual Reality Museum



Thieves have taken art from all over the world, robbing not just museums and collectors but all of us, stealing our opportunity to experience these masterworks. The painting above is a Rembrandt stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston in 1990. The thirteen artworks stolen that day have never been recovered.

 Check out this new project, the Virtual-Reality Museum to see the art digitally restored to its proper (virtual) place.   An interesting project that brings together art, computing and international crime.  http://www.wired.com/2015/01/see-worlds-greatest-stolen-artworks-virtual-reality-museum/?mbid=social_fb
