What is a Virtual Exhibition?
A virtual exhibition is an immersive 3D digital experience that allows visitors to explore museum exhibitions, art galleries and cultural spaces online from anywhere in the world. Our virtual exhibition platform combines cutting-edge 3D scanning technology with multimedia storytelling to create engaging online experiences.
Unlike simple photo galleries or videos, virtual exhibitions offer interactive 3D navigation, embedded audio guides, detailed object information, and accessibility features that make cultural content available to global audiences 24/7.

A virtual exhibition is an immersive 3D digital experience that allows visitors to explore museum exhibitions, galleries and cultural spaces online. Virtual exhibitions combine interactive 3D tours, multimedia content, and accessible design to reach global audiences 24/7.
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. Contact us for a tailored quote based on your specific requirements.
How long does it take to create a virtual exhibition?
Timeline depends on project complexity. A simple 3D virtual tour can be completed in 2-3 weeks, while comprehensive virtual exhibitions typically take 6-12 weeks from initial consultation to launch. Larger projects with extensive 3D digitisation may require 3-6 months.
What are the benefits of creating a virtual exhibition?
Virtual exhibitions offer numerous advantages: accessibility for people with mobility challenges, global reach without travel barriers, permanent digital archiving, extended exhibition lifecycles, detailed visitor analytics, reduced carbon footprint, and the ability to preserve exhibitions after physical closure.
Can virtual exhibitions be accessed on mobile devices?
Yes, all V21 Artspace virtual exhibitions are fully responsive and optimized for smartphones, tablets, laptops and desktop computers. No special software, apps or VR headsets are required - visitors simply need a web browser.
Do virtual exhibitions work with VR headsets?
Our 3D virtual tours are compatible with VR headsets for an even more immersive experience, though this is optional. The exhibitions work perfectly well on standard devices without any special equipment.
How are virtual exhibitions different from virtual tours?
While "virtual tour" and "virtual exhibition" are often used interchangeably, virtual exhibitions typically include richer educational content, multimedia storytelling, detailed object information, curated narratives and accessibility features beyond simple navigation.
Can you create virtual exhibitions for permanent collections?
Absolutely. Virtual exhibitions are ideal for permanent collections, allowing museums to create digital versions of galleries that visitors can explore remotely, use for education programs, or access for research purposes.
