The translation of exhibitions into digital space has become increasingly important in recent years. Further intensified by the COVID pandemic, many museums are looking for alternative solutions to make museum visits possible. In this way, they can continue to fulfil their role as an institution for the communication and presentation of cultural heritage as well as the transfer of knowledge. In an exhibition, the focus is on the exhibit with its inherent knowledge. The curators of the Office for Academic Heritage, Scientific and Art Collections of the TU Dresden, are keen to present the exhibitions that have already been held and those that are planned in an expanded setting. A virtual counterpart to the real exhibition space is to be created, which can also be filled independently of current exhibitions. As part of a course at the Faculty of Computer Science at TU Dresden, a concept for a virtual reality web application with an explorative, immersive character was developed. With the concepts of white plane and aura, the students created an open museum space that focuses on the exhibits and the knowledge transfer.
