It comprises 330 illustrated posters from the cinema, circus and advertising industries. This partnership entails the coproduction of multiple exhibitions about the collection, but also future research of the materials that form this important heritage. One of the objectives/aims of this work is to develop a website which will collect and present the information about the poster collection, while also serving as a platform to show virtual exhibitions of the same collection. In this paper we present the initial stages of the development of a 3D real time exhibition which is intended to open simultaneously with a physical exhibit of the posters dedicated to early Italian cinema - scheduled to be inaugurated in March of 2024. We will describe some of the first steps we have taken so far which covers the exploration of tools devoted to building 3D environments, the tasks we already achieved and lay down a couple ideas for the future of this project. We hope the prototype we present here might function as a model and a proof of concept for digital representations and reinterpretations of future exhibits of this singular legacy.engVirtual exhibitionMovie posters3D RenderingVirtual room prototypeUnity enginebook part10.1007/978-3-031-47281-7_72661-8192
