The project focusing on the upgrade of the New Archaeological Museum of Ugento was created in the framework of the collaboration between the Municipality of Ugento and the Institute of Cultural Heritage Sciences of the CNR. The primary goals of this project are to improve the physical, sensory, and cognitive accessibility of the museum collections and to guide visitors in discovering the region and its rich, millennia-long history. To achieve these goals, we have designed cognitive and experiential pathways incorporating various ICT technologies: from gaming to virtual or augmented reality experiences for an immersive engagement of cultural heritage, from tactile interfaces for visually impaired users to installations inspired by the ‘Cracking Art’ artistic movement. This paper presents in detail the project requirements, the implemented solutions, their validation, and the achieved results.
