The BavAR[t]
Collection
BavAR[t] facilitates access to culture by distributing rights-free works and works entrusted by their rights holders. We define culture as the full spectrum of material and intangible heritage — and we make it accessible to all, in augmented reality.
Full rights transparency · Material and intangible heritage · Free access
Facilitating access to culture,
with full transparency
We actively distribute public domain works — sculptures, paintings, heritage objects whose rights have expired. Universal art, accessible to all, without restriction.
Every protected work is distributed with the explicit agreement of the institution or artist holding the rights. Credits are visible on every record. Full transparency.
Culture is not limited to fine arts. BavAR[t] embraces heritage in the broadest sense — objects, places, know-how, traditions, memories. Everything that constitutes human identity.
Culture is broad.
So is our Collection.
BavAR[t] is not a classical art gallery. We integrate everything that constitutes material and intangible heritage — thousands of types of documents, objects, sounds, and knowledge can join the Collection and become an augmented reality experience.
Oils, watercolors, drawings, prints, posters, illustrations — via 3D Sheet or modeling
Artefacts, furniture, everyday objects, tools, museum pieces — digitized via photogrammetry
Photographic archives, postcards, historical iconographic documents — direct 3D Sheet integration
A musical piece, a traditional song, a heritage sound linked to an image or place — embedded in the AR experience
Monuments, historic buildings, reconstructions of vanished sites — modeling or photogrammetry
Letters, parchments, old maps, historical documents — integrated with their narrative context
Excavations, artefacts, site reconstructions — field digitization or modeling from surveys
Know-how, traditions, gestures, oral narratives — linked to an image or place for AR mediation
If it belongs to human heritage, we can integrate it.

Native 3D viewer
with audio narration
Every artwork in the Collection has a full in-browser experience — no plugin, no download, with synchronized audio narrating the story of each work.
The BavAR[t] 3D viewer is developed in-house. It allows you to view each artwork from any angle, with its synchronized audio narrative track.
How a work joins
the Collection
Whether you have 3D models or only 2D images, BavAR[t] handles the full integration into the Collection.
Your 3D models, photographs, archives, or 2D images — along with the associated rights.
BavAR[t] creates the 3D asset (or integrates via 3D Sheet for 2D), records the audio narration, and deploys the work in the AR app.
The artwork is published in the online Collection with its full record — rights, credits, institution — freely accessible to all.
Your collection deserves
