Abstract:
While both imaging methods (RTI, 3D scanning) are commonly used in cultural heritage, it is less common to see the results of conservation investigations in interactive gallery displays. This project created an opportunity for the conservators to collaborate across museum departments in order to share this research with the public. Cooper Hewitt's grand reopening in 2014 after a major renovation cemented its place as a leader in digital interactivity in the museum world (Rhodes 2014;Meyer 2015).
