The Etruscans and the Afterlife - An Engaging Exhibition with Accurate Scientific, Technological and Communicative Requirements

Abstract
The communication of museums, with the aim to engage and attract a wider audience, is undergoing a radical change, seeking in ICT a help. The joint exhibition ''The Etruscans and the Afterlife'', hosted by the National Etruscan Museum of Villa Giulia and the Museum of the History of Bologna - Genus Bononiae - presents a strong commitment towards a renewed communicational effort of this kind, merging a traditional display of archaeological findings and spectacular technological applications. The paper presents the three digital applications developed by VisitLab Cineca for the exhibition: a projection show combining 3D architectural mapping, with 10 coordinated projectors, and a holographic projection of the Sarcophagus of the Spouses; the holographic projection of the bronze vase called ''Situla della Certosa''; a Computer Graphics short movie, ''Ati at the discovery of Veii''.
