Heritage Artefacts in the COVID-19 Era: The Aura and Authenticity of 3D Models

Museums have been increasingly investing in their digital presence. This became more pressing during the COVID-19 pandemic since heritage institutions had, on the one hand, to temporarily close their doors to visitors while, on the other, find ways to communicate their collections to the public.
