3D scanning of 18C globe

As part of the Research Master Art History at Utrecht University, this Master-Apprentice research paper was written by first-year student Romée van Oostenbrugge, supervised by Dr. Sanne Frequin. The research was conducted in collaboration with Het Centraal Museum Utrecht (The Netherlands) as the ‘Scheepsglobe’ is a part of the museum’s collection, and the Factum Foundation for Digital Technology in Preservation (Madrid). This non-profit organization recorded the Scheepsglobe in 3D in November of 2023.

The virtual ‘Scheepsglobe’ has been selected as The Netherlands’ entry for ‘Twin it! 3D for Europe’s culture’, a campaign by the European Commission and the Europeana Initiative, under the auspices of the Swedish and Spanish Presidencies of the Council of the EU, culminating during the Belgian Presidency.
