PNRR Project CHANGES no.: PE_00000020-Climate change driving innovative models of sustainable tourism

Knowledge of the ancient landscape of an area also passes through the study of finds displayed in archaeological museums. The project aims at the realisation of multimedia supports for the valorisation of the archaeological collections of Venice, the Venetian lagoon and coastline held at the National Archaeological Museum of Venice and for its virtual tour, in preparation for the on-site one. An effective fruition of the tour at the Museum, which is organised for a diversified audience composed of researchers, but also of students, enthusiasts and tourists with different backgrounds and education, benefits from multimedia devices providing explanatory introductions to visitors. The researcher's activity should follow two lines of action. As a necessary premise, the researcher will have to study the archaeological finds in the Museum, paying particular attention to those most significant for the historical study of the lagoon in Roman time and of collecting in Venice in relation to antiquity. Subsequently, for each artefact selected, the researcher will have to produce multimedia supports. The texts will be converted in podcasts. The researcher will also have to prepare the virtual tour of the Museum collections. The project is therefore a research initiative aimed at the final realisation of a product in the field of public engagement.
