The Anne Frank House in Amsterdam is one of the most visited museum in the world, and now it has a digital component as well. The Secret Annex website offers a 3D virtual tour of the Anne Frank House to help the story reach individuals who aren't able to travel to the museum in person.
The highly informative and beautifully laid out Secret Annex website offers an engaging and immersive experience that helps spread Anne Frank's story to as many individuals as possible. Given the high traffic of the museum, it has had to close temporarily one two occasions for renovations in order to accommodate the number of guests.
Virtual museums and other digital projects by museum institutions are an important part of making access to knowledge systems accessible to all.
