What is a virtual exhibition?
A virtual exhibition is a digital recreation of a physical or imagined exhibition space. Visitors explore artworks or objects online within a structured 3D environment. V21 Artspace produces high fidelity 3D virtual exhibitions and virtual museums, combining photogrammetry, CGI and precise spatial design.
Why do museums and galleries need virtual exhibitions?
Virtual exhibitions support accessibility, reach wider audiences globally and provide long-term digital archives. They offer parallel or permanent versions of physical shows and allow cultural organisations to extend their exhibition lifespan indefinitely.
How long does a virtual exhibition take to produce?
Typical production timelines range from 2 to 6 weeks depending on scale, object complexity and whether the space is CGI or photogrammetry-based.
Can a virtual exhibition improve accessibility?
Yes. Virtual exhibitions provide barrier-free access to audiences who cannot visit in person. They support screen readers, high contrast modes and adjustable navigation options. Accessibility is a core pillar of V21 Artspace's approach.
Are virtual exhibitions suitable for museum archives?
Virtual exhibitions act as digital archives that preserve curatorial intent, spatial layout and interpretative material. They serve as long-term institutional memory and research resources.
Do virtual exhibitions work on mobile devices?
All V21 Artspace virtual exhibitions are optimised for mobile, tablet and desktop. They require no app installation.
Can virtual exhibitions include video, text and audio?
Yes. We support artwork captions, audio guides, curatorial texts, interviews, transcripts, ASL/BSL content and integrated multimedia zones.
What file types do you accept for 3D objects?
Accepted formats include: OBJ, GLTF/GLB, USDZ, STL, FBX. We also create 3D assets from scratch using photogrammetry and CGI.
Can you recreate an entire gallery as CGI?
Yes. V21 Artspace builds custom gallery environments and museum spaces tailored to the exhibition narrative.
How much does a virtual exhibition cost?
Pricing typically starts from £3,000 for small exhibitions, £8,000–£20,000 for full museum projects, depending on complexity and object quantity.
