Telling the story of the mining sites in Trentino that are not accessible or are difficult to visit.
An immersive journey through time, exploring the unique characteristics of each site by observing the geological context, techniques, and equipment used.
The project
Hidden deep within the mountains of Trentino are traces of a past rich in history and treasures: the ancient mines that have shaped the region’s landscape and economy. Some of these mines date back to the Middle Ages and even Prehistory, providing valuable insights into the local geology and history. However, many of these sites have long been inaccessible or difficult to reach, keeping their secrets and mysteries under wraps.
Thanks to virtual reality, the Muse of Trento has opened the doors to these places, transporting users on an adventure that transcends the boundaries of time and space. By wearing a virtual reality headset, participants become the newest member of the museum’s research team, tasked with recovering lost information and artifacts from these mining sites.
