18 MuseoMag N°IV 2024 FROM ARTEFACTS TO 3D PRINTS Innovative workshops and projects at the museum The museum’s digitisation team exploring the tactile model and comparing it to the original sculpture. Since the creation of its Digitisation Department in 2018, the museum has embarked on several projects involving 3D. First, in 2019, the whole building was scanned and turned into a 3D-model. This meant that people were able to visit the museum virtually during the lockdowns in 2020 and 2021. Building on this experience, the Centre de Documentation sur la Forteresse du Luxembourg decided to scan the casemates in 3D and make them accessible not only to researchers but also to a wider public. In addition to scanning buildings, the Digitisation Department has also started scanning objects from the collection. As the digital world becomes a bigger part of every- day life, the museum also wanted to include more digital elements in its programme. 3D WORKSHOPS: WHERE HISTORY MEETS TECHNOLOGY Using what we learned from various 3D projects, we wanted to create something related to this field. The digitisation department teamed up with Pit Molling, who is well-known for his 3D art. He is experienced in running 3D workshops and knows all about the different processes, platforms, mate- rials, techniques, and so on. We developed two different workshops, one for adults and one for children. In the first, we connect the relatively new technology of 3D printing and the emergence of metalwork as a new technology du- ring the Bronze and Iron Ages. Just as 3D printing today opens up new possibilities, melting metal and pouring it into moulds back then was nothing short of revolutionary. We highlight this in a guided tour of our archaeological collection, which has plenty of examples from those periods that we encourage people to use as inspiration for their 3D-printed creations. The children’s workshop focuses on coins and medals. In a short tour, children learn about the beginnings of monetary systems. Afterwards, they create their own coins, which will then be printed for © éric chenal
