Digitising a rich collection
The Digital Lab at the University of Leuven digitises historical objects to the highest possible standards. Scientists at Illuminare (the Study Centre for Medieval Art) and ESAT develop tools and techniques to improve the investigation of artworks. The ‘mini-dome’ identifies the topography of artworks with great precision.
The Museum Plantin-Moretu is a partner in this Leuven research project under the name ‘RICH: Reflectance Imaging for Cultural Heritage’. Prof. Lieve Watteeuw and digital imaging expert Bruno Vandermeulen are together investigating the Museum’s bookbindings, prints and miniatures.
