Angkor Wat is a temple complex in Cambodia and the largest religious monument in the world, with the site measuring 162.6 hectares (402 acres). It was originally constructed as a Hindu temple of god Vishnu for the Khmer Empire, gradually transforming into a Buddhist temple towards the end of the 12th century. It was built by the Khmer King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Yaśodharapura, the capital of the Khmer Empire, as his state temple and eventual mausoleum. Breaking from the Shaiva tradition of previous kings, Angkor Wat was instead dedicated to Vishnu. As the best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious centre since its foundation. The temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer architecture. It has become a symbol of Cambodia, appearing on its national flag, and it is the country's prime attraction for visitors.

**Virtual Cities** started as an exhibition art piece with the aim of combining physical space with virtual reality. We assembled foam blocks within a room, mimicking an abstract simplified cityscape, which was then painted over in virtual reality using tilt brush. The result is a piece of art which attempts to transcend media. 

Visitors can put on the headset and navigate through the real space, but see an augmented version of the block layout.

This is the head of David by Michelangelo. This version is based on a full-sized bronze copy created from molds taken directly off the original. 

This model of David's head was created from 105 photos I shot yesterday evening. David just happens to be looking towards the setting sun. I had a difficult time with the shaded back of his head and I'm still unable to capture the top of his head. I've guessed that the top of David's head is over 30 feet above the platform where he stands today.

Visitors to Sioux Falls, SD can see this wonderful copy downtown at Fawick Park.

*Vianden Castle (Luxembourgish: Veianer Schlass [ˈfɑɪɑnɐ ˈʃlɑs] or (locally) Veiner Schlooss [ˈfɑɪnɐ ˈʃloːs]), located in Vianden in the north of Luxembourg, is one of the largest fortified castles west of the Rhine. With origins dating from the 10th century, the castle was built in the Romanesque style from the 11th to 14th centuries. Gothic transformations and trimmings were added at the end of this period. A Renaissance mansion was added in the 17th century but thereafter the castle was allowed to fall into ruins. It has, however, recently been fully restored and is open to visitors.* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vianden_Castle

This remaining piece was part of the Great Cloister, which was part of the Carthusian monastery that was founded outside the city of London by Sir Walter Manny. Manny also funded the plague burial site which is now Charterhouse Square. The Norfolk Cloister is a 'rare survival of a great Elizabethan garden gallery'. The roof was used for guests to promenade including by Queen Elizabeth I during her visit to the Charterhouse.

During the period of Sutton's Hospital the cloister was used by the schoolboys for football, its narrow dimensions leading to the invention of the offside rule.

Date: 1417 (the Great Cloister) & 1571 (roof and inner wall)

[**Museum Village Düppel**](https://bit.ly/3q58lnq) is a seasonal open-air museum. It presents visitors with a reconstruction of an approximately 800-year-old village. The site of this former settlement has now been reconstructed with residences, storehouses, workshops, fields and gardens.

1967 marked the start of archaeological excavations in southwest Berlin. They revealed evidence of building foundations and farmyards of a village from the period just before 1200. Thanks to experimental archaeology, it was possible to rebuild the medieval village on the settlement’s original site. The village has developed into a widely recognised centre for experimental archaeology.

Here's my entry for the [InteriorScanChallenge](https://blog.sketchfab.com/sketchfab-3d-scanning-challenge-interiors/)

This is the Blue Room (Le Salon Bleu) which is located in the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature in Paris. To learn more about this room, follow the annotations.

Besides the paintings, the room had some interesting details like dry thistle on the seats to elegantly tell the visitors not to sit. Or the stuffed fox sleeping on an armchair.

The scan was reconstructed with Agisoft Photoscan from 200+ photos. I had to cleanup quite a lot the scan to get a decent result.

A major uproar caused an unknown object that collapsed on the Cow Mountain at the Observatory and Planetarium in Brno. At first glance, it looks like a flying saucer in which aliens travel. In fact, it's another of the advertising tricks that have been devised by the Observatory in recent months.

The Convent of Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles de la Hoz is located in the Duraton Canyon in Segovia, Spain. The site consists of the ruins of a 13th Century Convent that is believed to have been established by the Franciscan Order. The site was abandoned in the middle 19th Century and had notible visitors including Queen Isabella and King Philip II. Accessing the site is possible only by boat but for a few months during the year when it is possible to visit the site on foot when river water levels are lower. 

The 3D model was made using 4,356 images captured with a DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2 drone; images were processed in CapturingReality; additional processing was completed in Geomagic and Instantmeshes.

Olympia (Greek: Ὀλυμπία; Ancient Greek: [olympía]; Modern Greek: [oli(m)ˈbia] Olymbía), is a small town in Elis on the Peloponnese peninsula in Greece, famous for the nearby archaeological site of the same name, which was a major Panhellenic religious sanctuary of ancient Greece, where the ancient Olympic Games were held. The site was primarily dedicated to Zeus and drew visitors from all over the Greek world as one of a group of such "Panhellenic" centres which helped to build the identity of the ancient Greeks as a nation. Despite the name, it is nowhere near Mount Olympus in northern Greece, where the Twelve Olympians, the major deities of Ancient Greek religion, were believed to live.

The Chapel at the Charterhouse, London.

The entrance is through the ante-chapel and this area is the oldest part with the bosses and stone ribs dating from 1512.

The first aisle of the Chapel used to be the monk's chapterhouse.

In the 17th Century the Chapel was extended with a second aisle and the large monument to Thomas Sutton was added.

The seating area to the side was added in 1825 to accommodate schoolboys who were not Foundation Scholars.

The Chapel can be visited freely at any time during Charterhouse opening hours.
