NCMA Explore Virtual Museum (NCMA Explore Resource)

Visit the virtual museum!

NCMA Explore features an immersive, virtual gallery building that links to recreated archaeological spaces containing ancient objects from five regions across the globe. After designing your avatar, wander through the virtual museum to play mini games and take on scavenger hunts to find 3D museum objects in Ancient Egypt, Greece, Mexico, Peru, and Rome. To navigate the virtual museum, you need an internet connection and a laptop, desktop, or Chromebook with a keyboard and trackpad or mouse. Headphones and a microphone are helpful but not required.

Teachers: want to reserve a private version of the virtual museum to use with your students? The private virtual museum holds up to 50 students and can be held for 5 consecutive days at a time. For more information or to make a reservation, contact the NCMA Explore project manager Camille Tewell at ctewell@ncartmuseum.org.
