A virtual space where you can explore art in an immersive, interactive 3D world. The “metaverse of art”.
André Malraux, the great French author, culture minister and promotor of museum spaces wanted to create the museum without walls, an imaginary museum, allowing for an unimpeded interaction between art from different continents, cultures, ages. The Virtual Museum, goes even further: located in the metaverse, accessible anytime from anywhere by anyone.
This is a true 3D, immersive, interactive experience allowing the juxtaposition of art from anywhere and anytime. This experience gives the interacting visitors a playful and better understanding of the language and vocabulary of art, which will be shown in a sequence of exhibitions.

“…anthropologists of art have discovered very valuable things about ideals of beauty and aesthetic vocabulary in their investigations. And these have largely been ignored to this day.”
– Lorenz Homberger, formerly Rietberg Museum, Zurich
The impetus that drives the proponents behind The Virtual Museum is a fascination over how artists from different continents – each with very distinct cultural heritages and from different epochs – could end up employing very similar artistic approaches.

“Simplicity is complexity resolved”
– Constantin Brancusi
”The people who call my work ‘abstract’ are imbeciles; what they call ‘abstract’ is the most realistic, because what is real is not represented by external form but by the idea behind it, the essence of things.”
– Constantin Brancusi
The Virtual Museum will, among others, show the universal and widespread use of the aesthetics of simplicity, reduction, abstraction. Pieces of primitive, and of antique and contemporary art from different backgrounds and periods create a fascinating interaction and connection based on principles showing the essence of things.
