Sacred Art in a Virtual World

The new Museum of Sacred Art (Bieup (207, 42, 106) will open on Monday, December 14, 2009 at 2:00 pm Eastern Time (11:00 am SLT). The museum represents a permanent home for the exhibition "Sacred Art in a Virtual World" that ran from February to October. The purpose of the exhibition was to evaluate the value of virtual buildings for the teaching of art history. The exhibition includes notecards allowing the visitor to tp to buildings, guide them through the building, and then return them to the museum to move on to the next exhibit.

Rutgers students in the Department of Art History worked on the original exhibition as well as the new museum.
