About
FUNES is a 3D cultural heritage archive that digitizes monuments, artifacts, and historic sites into high-quality 3D models, panoramas, and guided stories. The platform hosts over 1,600 models spanning 18+ countries, making them freely accessible to museums, researchers, and the general public. It operates as an open-source, community-driven project aimed at preserving the physical world for future generations.
Problem
Physical cultural heritage sites and monuments are at risk of being lost, and there is no unified, freely accessible digital archive of high-quality 3D representations of these places.
For
Museums, researchers, heritage enthusiasts, and curious visitors around the world
How it works
FUNES digitizes monuments and heritage sites into 3D models and panoramas, then organizes them into an online archive with guided stories that anyone can browse for free.
