Interactive 3D Skull

3D ScanHeritageInteractiveMuseum

Leväluhta, in Ostrobothnia, is one of Finland's most unusual Iron Age sites — a water burial ground that preserved its dead in ways land rarely does. Among its finds: a skull, intact enough to scan.

The scan is exceptional in its resolution. Every suture, every surface texture, every mark left by time is present in the digital model at a level of detail the original object rarely allows in a museum setting. Displayed on screen as an interactive exhibit, visitors can rotate the skull freely, examine it from any angle, and move in close — the distance between a visitor and a thousand-year-old artefact collapsed into a gesture.
