Aargauer Kunsthaus – A Self-Curated Digital Twin
Challenge – Aargauer Kunsthaus operates with a lean team and limited budget but wanted its distinctive architecture represented online for every show.
Solution – Atopia converted existing CAD plans into a high‑fidelity digital twin, giving the museum a permanent virtual venue. After an onboarding session, Aargauer Kunsthaus’ curator used Atopia’s Editor to hang an inaugural exhibition of 86 works, including spatial sound. Subsequent shows require no external 3‑D spending.
The Aargauer Kunsthaus can now:
Launch digital exhibitions rapidly, without relying on outside 3-D studios.
Offer remote access to its architecture and collections in a consistent, recognisable venue.
Save costs long-term by investing once in infrastructure instead of per-exhibition outsourcing.
The results
Continuity for audiences – When key works went off view in the physical galleries, the VR twin ensured visitors could still access them.
Global reach – Within two weeks of launch, the digital venue had been visited from 30+ countries, expanding the museum’s audience far beyond Aarau.
Operational efficiency – Future exhibitions can now be installed directly by curators, without the need for external 3-D production.
This case shows how a museum was able to extend access, safeguard continuity, and expand its international profile through Atopia’s scalable architecture.
