The Inauguration of Türkiye's First Virtual Reality Museum
Revolutionizing the traditional museum experience, Müzeverse, Türkiye's pioneering virtual reality (VR) museum, has opened its doors at UNIQ Istanbul on November 19.
A Unique Collaboration for a Unique Experience
Formed through a partnership between VR Future, a VR content production company, and the French virtual reality company Excurio, Müzeverse debuts with the immersive exhibit "Journey to the Pyramids: Discovering Ancient Egypt" for art enthusiasts.
Founder's Vision and Inspiration
VR Future's Founder, Fahad Rehman, shared that his inspiration for Müzeverse stemmed from his initial VR encounter at a Paris museum two years ago. He emphasized the distinct storytelling approach employed in the museum's experiences.
A Dream Realized in Türkiye
Having resided in Türkiye for an extended period, Rehman expressed his desire to share his Paris experience with a global audience, leading to the museum's inception. The Müzeverse project has been a labor of love for Rehman and his partner, Virgile, spanning over two years.
Surpassing Expectations with Virtual Reality
Rehman highlighted initial skepticism from those unfamiliar with VR technology, but noted that once experienced, visitors found the journey far beyond what they anticipated. The choice of the pyramids as the inaugural experience was deliberate due to their universal significance and technological marvels.
Embracing the Future of Art and Entertainment
Virgile Mangiavillano, Co-Founder of VR Future, described Müzeverse as a gateway to a new era of art, inviting guests to partake in "the future of entertainment." The museum's capacity to accommodate up to 100 individuals simultaneously fosters a shared social experience.
Educational and Transformative
Underpinning Müzeverse is an educational mission aimed at enlightening youth on technology and innovative art forms. The museum's slogan, "a journey through time," encapsulates the unparalleled experience it offers, distinguishing it as a cutting-edge art form.
