Visita virtual interativa do Museu do Centro Hospitalar do Porto : contributo para a produção de conteúdo digital

Abstract

In the context of the Specialization Course, pilot version, promoted by the Mu.SA Project – Museum Sector Alliance, more specifically within the scope of the functional profile of Digital Collections Curator, an internship, or work-based learning, was developed at the Museum of the Hospital Center of Porto, with focus on the permanent exhibition Nineteenth-century Botica Hospital Santo António and Workshop Pharmacy of the Joaquim Urbano Hospital. It was an excellent opportunity to put into practice the knowledge acquired, in parallel, in online and in-person theoretical training. The main objective was to produce a rigorous and captivating narrative for each of the fifteen objects chosen as a sample, in order to integrate the 360° advanced interactive virtual tour that the museum intended to produce. For this purpose, we resorted, on the one hand, to a literature review, with the help of pharmacopoeias and old forms, to deepen the knowledge about the objects in question and on the topic, and, on the other hand, to fieldwork, through the collaboration network formed throughout the course, which proved to be a great asset.
