Moobels presents at Edfu Expert Meeting.

Edfu Sealings

THE DIRECTOR OF THE ALLARD PIERSON MUSEUM, WIM HUPPERETZ, CORDIALLY INVITES YOU TO ATTEND AN EXPERT MEETING AND WORKSHOP TO BE HELD ON THURSDAY, 19 JANUARY 2017.

The Edfu Connection

The event is the second meeting held within the framework of the international collaborative project The EDFU Connection, which highlights the collection of a single hoard of Ptolemaic sealings now held at the Allard Pierson and the Royal Ontario Museums. Short, informal talks and discussions, moderated by Dr Branko van Oppen (APM), will concern the study of Hellenistic sealings and engraved gems, as well as museum presentation techniques of miniature artefacts. Confirmed speakers include Dr Marie-Françoise Boussac (Lyon University), Drs Ben van den Bercken (Museum of Antiquities, Leiden), Dr Jörn Lang (Institute for Classical Archaeology, University of Leipzig) and Joost Tangelder (Moobels virtual collections). An intensive workshop on presentation techniques of small objects such as sealings, engraved gems, rings and coins will be held in the Digital Museum Lab in collaboration with MeSch and other partners.

Moobels @ Rijksmuseum Amsterdam

Moobels & Visual Dimension present 2/3D documentation strategy at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.

For the 2D + 3D Photography conference at the Rijksmuseum, held on the 15th & 16th April 2015, we cooperated in a workshop together with Daniel Pletinckx from Visual Dimension to present a “Strategy for optimal documentation of museum objects”.

The proposed workflow aims at providing museums and historical and fine art photography professionals a cost effective and simple way to implement a process in which they can document objects in a workflow that is close to photographic principles but on the same hand offers a bridge towards 3D documentation.

The basis of the workflow focuses on three steps, namely:

Capture high resolution 360-photos to create 360 image based view

Create a “simplified” 3D-model through photogrammetry based on the 360 photogrammetry

Create highly detailed and optimized 3D-models based on the 2 previous steps

As you can imagine, there’s actually quite a bit more to it than this 🙂 More information on the workflow can be found in the presentation presented by Daniel Pletinckx, or by contacting us at our offices in Amsterdam (links below).

Moobels assigned technical partnership

CEMEC is a new international project that connects both the collections and curators of a list of prominent European museums. Moobels was invited to participate in this project as a technical partner focusing on digitization of historical artifacts. Last week we took part in the kick-off meeting in Amsterdam.

  Most museums are experiencing the need to reach audiences and collaborate in new ways, while at the same time become most cost-effective. To provide an answer to this need, a new project called CEMEC was launched last week at the excellent Allard Pierson Museum in Amsterdam. The project’s name is short for “Connecting Early Medieval European Collections” and it aims to provide a new business model for durable collaboration on a network / exchange basis between it’s partners.

New ways of digital data acquisition and sharing (digital) content on collections and objects will be an essential part of this project. In collaboration with internationally renowned technical partners, and curatorial expertise a ‘new museography’ will be shaped that addresses not only the essential need to reach new audiences, but will also lead to new ways of collaboration and approaches to sharing and exchange of cultural assets (collections).

  In order to establish this network, CEMEC will create a mobile exhibition (at 3 venues) and 5 national presentations with generic curatorial content, together with technical partners and the associated scientific partners, who will be able to create on-going spin-off research.

Moobels will be taking part in this 4 year program as a technical & creative partner. Our focus wil be the 3D-digitization of all the selected museum artifacts that will be on display in the exhibition. Together with NoHo, CNR-ITABC, Evoca and Frauenhofer-IGD we will be creating digital experiences for the exhibition, as well as provide technical know-how and advice.

We feel very privileged to be working with the following musea and institutes in this project:

Allard Pierson Museum, University of Amsterdam, University Leiden, University of Utrecht

LVR-Landes Museum Bonn, University Bonn

Hungarian National Museum, Eötvös Lóránd University Budapest

Byzantine and Christian Museum Athens

Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerch ITABC, National Museum for Early Middle Ages Rome

Institute of Iberian Archaeology, Museum of Jaen

University College Dublin, National Museum Ireland

Swedish Historical Museum,

Ashmolean Museum, Oxford

Technical / creative partners

DEN foundation (NL)

CNR-ITABC (It)

EVOCA (It)

NoHo (Ir)

Fraunhofer-IGD (D)

We are looking forward to working with this international team of experts and are committed to deliver stellar results.

More on CEMEC soon.
