Description: Art like never before. The Kremer Museum is an innovative new museum concept that combines the newest VR technology with world-class Old Master paintings. The museum includes pieces by Rembrandt, Aelbert Cuyp, Frans Hals and many more Old Masters from the Dutch Golden Age.
Walk around a fantastic new space, where the balance between traditional museums and VR is represented through a new sort of architecture. Be sure to check out Rembrandt’s “old man with a turban”, walk through it, and see the original back of the panel, to explore the work’s unique stamps of provenance.
Review: There are a few good VR art museums available to us now, but sadly ‘The Kremer Collection VR Museum’ does not join those ranks. While there are a few good paintings to be found and some nice educational narration to go with them, there is mostly little to nothing of real interest. Its got a lot of shine and promises the earth, but delivers a small stickman drawing for us to look at. Then there is the high £7.19 price tag to go with it and you have yourself a virtual museum that is best off being closed down. Don’t waste you money here, there are far better apps and many of them are free.
