Games for looking very closely at the works of Roland Buraud, and a workshop for drawing and painting in turn. And for school classes, a visit sheet with a route through the museum.
From the threshold to the guestbook, the museum follows the course of Roland Buraud’s life. You enter by the threshold: tickets are at the desk.

Themed tours
Five tours for seeing the museum differently: in the 3D visit, the guide follows them and stops only at their works.
Musamundo, “the world of the Muses”, is a series of virtual museums. Each one brings together, for the length of a visit, the work of an artist the world has scattered.
Bringing togetherAn artist’s works are now spread across dozens of museums on several continents. Musamundo gathers them in a single building, room after room, in the order of the artist’s life.
Showing them at real sizeEvery work hangs at its real dimensions, lit by its own spotlight, with its label. At last you can see what a photograph hides: a small study and a large painting are not alike.
Letting the texts speakThe words that go with the works are quoted from the original text: the artist’s own, where any survive (letters, writings, inscriptions on the works), and those of witnesses from the artist’s time.
Free imagesThe museum only uses reproductions of public-domain works or images under a CC0 licence, from open-access collections. Every image gives its source and licence.
Admission to the museum is paid, as in a real museum: it is what keeps Musamundo going, with no advertising. Payment is not open yet: for now the ticket desk and the shop run as a demo.
A typical year at the museum: the same events come back every year, month after month.
