Abstract
The multimedial capacities of the last generation computers meet the needs of the recent, new impulse to catalogue, restore and preserve the archaeological patrimony. In this paper we propose an easy-to-use authoring tool suitable to a) help the user in setting up an exhibition or a museum in such a way to match different criteria and satisfy user-defined or structure constraints; and b) prepare several kinds of visits to such exhibitions/museums, each visit being tailored to a certain type of visitor and/or giving particular emphasis to different aspects of the exhibition/museum. In order to lay the foundations of our work a precise definition of the terms museum and visit is also given.
