BavAR[t] Service

Collection
Valorisation

Your collections deserve to be seen. By more people, across more territories, all year long. BavAR[t] makes your collections accessible nationally in augmented reality — beyond your walls, beyond your season, beyond time.

The problem

70% of cultural collections
are never seen

Museum storage rooms are filled with exceptional pieces the public will never see — for lack of space, budget, or visibility. Heritage collections remain confined to their territory. BavAR[t] changes that: your collections travel, without ever leaving your institution. In augmented reality, they become accessible everywhere — in the street, in other cities, on other continents.

The transformation

What BavAR[t]
changes concretely

Before BavAR[t]
The collection stays in storage
  • Visible only at your venue during opening hours
  • Limited to your geographic territory
  • Accessible only to those who already know you exist
  • Impact measurable only by physical visitor numbers
  • Static content: labels, wall texts, classic audio guide
  • High exhibition costs for limited reach
With BavAR[t]
The collection travels in AR
  • Available 24/7 on any territory, all year round
  • Accessible nationally (France & International)
  • Reaching new, non-captive audiences
  • Impact measured: reading time, engagement, shares
  • Enriched content: 3D, audio, quizzes, badges, animations
  • Shared infrastructure = lower costs vs. dedicated app

Collections valorised
from every angle

🖼️
Artistic collections

Paintings, sculptures, decorative arts geolocated beyond the walls. Artworks travel into the city — visitors find and explore them in 3D via the app.

📮
Archives & documentary collections

Postcards, historical photographs, archival documents geolocated on the actual places they depict. The past reappears over the present.

🏺
Archaeological collections

Artefacts, site reconstructions, augmented stratigraphy. Visitors see what was buried — without excavation, without risk, with full scientific context.

🌿
Gardens & natural collections

Herbaria, rare species, augmented historic gardens. 7 periods of a Loire garden, the flavours of a Renaissance villa — natural history brought to life.

🎖️
Memorial heritage

Collections from memorial sites, war photography archives, testimonies. Augmented memorial tourism as a tool for intergenerational transmission.

🏗️
Architectural heritage

Disappeared, transformed, or threatened buildings restored in AR. The city’s architecture through the ages, visible on the very spots where it was built.

🏰

The Château de Chantilly case

BavAR[t] pitched Château de Chantilly a device for valorising its digitized collections — one of France’s richest iconographic libraries. The thesis: digitized collections are sleeping on servers. BavAR[t] gives them a public, accessible, engaging life — without endangering the originals. An approach that applies to any institution with digitized holdings.
