The Beautiful or the True It shows visitors a good two centuries of Neapolitan sculpture through 250 works from museums, galleries and private collections throughout Italy. Furthermore, once again, after the success of An impossible exhibition, art makes use of the support for new digital and interactive technologies that will amplify the ways of fruition of the works.
The exhibition will propose a dynamic fruition itinerary, thanks to an app, which can be downloaded for free at the museum entrance, developed by Databenc (High Technology District for Cultural Heritage), which will stimulate critical knowledge and curiosity. Visitors will be able to dialogue with the works, thanks to the technologies developed within the CHIS (Cultural Heritage Information System), OPS (Opere Parlanti Show), SNECS (Social Network Entities of Historical Centers) and Muse @ home projects, actively interacting with the information and contents, through smartphone applications and virtual reconstructions on very high definition screens.
The sculptures will therefore dialogue with visitors as soon as they approach the individual works, equipped with special sensors that will geolocate them. The user can customize the program, requesting non-suggested content and processing it. In this way the user will be actively involved in the work at the cognitive and sensorial level.
They are also present also sculptures reconstructed in 3D on interactive screens high resolution that the visitor can "rotate", move in three-dimensional space and discover every detail through touchless gestural commands.
