Case Study: Museum 360 Photography

360 photography has become a powerful tool for museums, allowing them to create immersive virtual experiences that enhance accessibility and education. 

Here are some ways museums are using 360 photography:

360 Photos: 

Museums can use 360 photographs of their exhibits, allowing people to explore the galleries from anywhere in the world. This is especially beneficial for people who are unable to visit the museum in person, such as those with disabilities or those who live far away. This access through 360 photos can be a deciding factor in encouraging people to visit a museum in person. 

Educational experiences: 

Museums can use 360 photography to create interactive educational experiences. For example, a museum could use 360 photography of an historical location that allows viewers to learn about the location and architecture.

360 photography is a relatively new technology and expanding into many sectors over time, but it is having a big impact on the way museums operate. By using 360 photography, museums can reach a wider audience and provide a more engaging and educational experience for visitors.

Here is an example of a 360 Photoshoot from the Immingham Museum in Lincolnshire,
The Google Maps 360 Photos were uploaded to the museums Google Listing in August 2023 and have had over 20,500+ photos views. This has helped many people find the museum and encouraged many more visitors to visit the museum in person.
