Step into the world of history and heritage through stunning 3D collections that bring the past to life. From pre-cinema artifacts in Girona to everyday objects and cultural emblems from the ancient oppidum of Bibracte in Burgundy, these collections offer a unique window into the lives and creativity of our ancestors. Digitised and shared in the context of the EUreka3D project, these treasures showcase the value of preserving and exploring our shared cultural heritage.

The CRDI (Centre for Image Research and Diffusion) of the Girona City Council, in collaboration with La Tempesta, has digitised and shared as open access via the EUreka3D Data Hub a remarkable 3D collection of pre-cinema heritage equipment and objects. These items are representative of the heritage preserved at the Cinema Museum in Girona. Explore the newly published 3D collection on Europeana Cameras, lanterns, and more pre-cinema 3D heritage from Girona
