An attempt to create 3D digital archives of statues in the overseas museum: A case study of efforts in the museum of Ostia Antica, Italy.

Without the opportunity to see the statues at overseas museum in person, it is difficult to observe them as three-dimensional objects. However, if it is possible to create 3D data from a statue, it will be able to make the same kind of observation as the actual statue without going to the museum. In this presentation, we introduced the process of creating a three-dimensional digital model of the statues on display at the Museum of Ostia Antica as an actual case, and examined the usefulness of the three-dimensional digital model as research data and display materials. In addition, we discussed the problems of the platform for archiving and using the digital models by comparing them with overseas cases.
