INTRODUCTION VIDEO
VIRTUAL TOUR
The virtual tour of the Museo dell'Ara Pacis, available from all devices, offers a journey to discover the beauty of the heritage through a digital experience that moves beyond the space limits of almost the whole museum space. Thanks to the appropriate controls, it is possible to move virtually around the museum, read the explanatory panels of the rooms and works, zoom and turn images 360°, look through photo galleries and videos and enjoy other contextual content. The "Don't miss" section, which contains a practical visual list of selected works or rooms, is a useful tool for those who are not familiar with the museum and are visiting it for the first time: by clicking on a work represented (for example, the "Fragments of the great frieze with spirals") the user is virtually transported to the room that houses it. The tour is also enriched by intelligent maps that follow the visitor as he or she moves from one room to another, indicating rooms or works not yet displayed. Lastly, thanks to the latest generation of drones, it is possible to take flight and see rooms and works from above, enjoying an additional, unprecedented perspective on the visit.
THE HISTORY OF THE MONUMENT
Lucia Spagnuolo, curator of archaeology at the Ara Pacis Museum, illustrates, through five stories, one of the most important and best preserved monuments of early imperial Rome: the Ara Pacis Augustae.
