The Digital Museum Project (Ritsumeikan University) will be holding its second human resources development workshop as listed below.

Theme: Digitalizing and Digitally Displaying 3D Cultural Assets

Date: December 5~7 (Monday to Wednesday)

Location: Ritsumeikan Art Research Center, Multipurpose Room / Reading & Exhibition Room (Tamokuteki-shitsu / Etsurantenji-shitsu)

In this second workshop, you will learn about how materials such as sculptures, ceramics, lacquerware, and other three-dimensional cultural assets are digitally archived, measured, and displayed through lectures by leading experts of the field. On the third day, participants will have an opportunity to present on their respective institutions’ three-dimensional exhibitions. Through lively discussion, we hope to encourage mutual exchange of information on an international level.
