		3D Museum - Desktop App We have released the desktop app of our virtual museum so that you can explore antiquity from the comfort of your own home! As part of the project, a virtual exhibition space was designed that can be used as an experimental laboratory for training in the handling of objects, for method-orientated and interdisciplinary teaching formats, as well as for the design of special student exhibitions. You can currently explore three themes that students have designed in a class: Temple, Tomb and Roman House. You can access the project via this link: https://jlubox.uni-giessen.de/getlink/fi9Xb9FT7scMnbsMV7CXanqw/3D_Museum_FINAL.zip Information on the content and use is available here. We hope you enjoy your journey into antiquity!

Moreover, you can regularly discover fun facts about antiquity here! In our first post there is of course a warm welcome, but not only that...have you ever heard of flying turtles or talking barbecues? No? Then drop by and find out what it's all about! We look forward to your visit!
