Preserving spaces that don't get a second chance.
Two government museum projects on this list were originally commissioned through partner agencies; both had gone quiet before we reactivated and maintained the spaces.
From the capture-program era, the standard here: artifact-safe distances, lighting as found.
A few of the spaces
Real projects, real locations.
A real tour
National Crafts Museum & Hastkala Academy.
Worth noting
Captured before the doors opened.
Two of these three tours exist from before public opening: the Tamil Nadu Police Museum, scanned pre-inauguration, and MAP Bangalore, an early trial run ahead of its own launch. That's a genuinely useful window: documenting a space before daily visitor traffic and exhibit changes start altering it, giving an institution a clean baseline record of how the space actually looked on day one.
Worth knowing.
National Crafts Museum & Hastkala Academy, New Delhi: run by the Ministry of Textiles, over 33,000 exhibits. Scanned directly, though commissioned through a partner agency at the time. When that agency stopped paying for hosting a year or two later, the tour stayed live anyway, kept active for the Matterport Discover backlink alone.
Tamil Nadu Police Museum, Chennai: a restored 1800s commissioner's office in Egmore. Scanned directly, commissioned through iPromptTech at the time. Same story as the Crafts Museum: when the agency stopped paying for hosting, the tour was kept live anyway.
Museum of Art & Photography (MAP), Bangalore: an early test-run tour ahead of the museum's public opening.
Before you ask
Arts & culture, specifically.
Why did the original museum scans need reactivating?
Public spaces with visitor traffic during capture are harder to align perfectly, and the original vendors on both projects moved on afterward without maintaining the spaces. Reactivating meant fixing that and keeping the tours live.
