Reconstructing the Past

Although MAV is near the actual site of Herculaneum it does not try very hard, to show the ruins as they are now. Pieces of representation of how they are now, do exist, but mostly they are blended back into the original models, to show how the town once stood.

"You can see only stones and some buildings," said Mr Ferrara. "You cannot see them how they were? these reconstructions you can see here are immersive and have a lot of appeal."

The Romans are a well-suited subject for a digital museum, as they were great proponents of the pixel, and were technologically ambitious.
