ABSTRACT
With the spread of COVID-19, many cultural and artistic institutions around the world have been forced to temporally close doors to protect attendees from the transmission risks. These measures have instigated curators and creators to explore alternative ways to showcase artworks through the digitization of collections, thus allowing the general public to access art online during social isolation. This work, therefore, describes the digitization process of a Brazilian art gallery which adopted the 3D virtual tour format to grant access to its art exhibitions in both Web and virtual reality (VR) formats. Both the development process of the virtual gallery and its usability evaluation with participants of different backgrounds are presented. Although some suggestions for technical improvement were pointed out, preliminary results showed that there was general acceptance in using the technology as a functional digital resource to access artistic exhibitions remotely.
