Abstract :
This paper describes a design that implements a Virtual Museum for its access through Internet. It can not only provide the information so far available in the Web, but also allows a three-dimensional (3D) walk through the whole Museum, watching its collections, plus a presentation of single objects in 3D, with different resolutions according to each visitor interests and with a real possibility of visitor-object interaction. All this opens a wide new path of investigation, as it brings 3D into Internet and means a contribution to the increase of interactivity in Web pages
