Museum without borders is the prototype of a web app to explore the byzantine antiquities in Venice, Padua, and Adria. Monuments, sculptures, objects are linked for the first time as a "museum without borders", offering an original itinerary across some of the most significant moments in Veneto history.
This is just the beginning. We want to expand the project to all Byzantine antiquities in northern Italy. In addition, the web app will be in Italian and English, with the possibility of listening to the texts instead of reading them. It will be like having a travel guide in your pocket.
