Abstract

We investigated the use of virtual technologies to digitise and enhance cultural heritage (CH), aligning with Open Science and FAIR principles. Through case studies in museums, we developed reproducible workflows, 3D models, and tools fostering accessibility, inclusivity, and sustainability of CH. Applications include interdisciplinary research, educational innovation, and CH preservation.
