Dutch art collector George Kremer commissioned architect Johan van Lierop to design a museum for VR. Inside, users can admire a collection of 74 old Dutch and Flemish masterpieces.
How do you get more people to visit a museum? Dutch art collector George Kremer knows how: With VR, of course. The initial plan was to build a real museum, but the decision was made in favour of the virtual solution because the advantages simply outweighed the disadvantages. Visitors can now marvel at the first virtual Kremer Museum at any time and from anywhere in the world.
When father and son work together
George Kremer's son was also an important co-developer. Joël, a former Google employee, contributed his technical expertise to the project. His father, on the other hand, contributed the collection, which has been built up over 20 years and contains a total of 74 old Dutch and Flemish masterpieces. It's marvellous how two generations can work together like this.
According to the architect Johan van Lierop, who designed the museum building, it was also a liberating experience for him to be able to build such an object without regard to physics and legal regulations.
