📣 * Visualising Shetland’s Iron Age * 📣
🔹Thursday 26 May | 6 - 9pm | Talks
🔹Friday 27 May | 12noon - 5pm | iBook demos
Three of Shetland’s most prestigious archaeological monuments will be brought to life next week on 26 & 27 May Shetland Museum and Archives with the launch of interactive iBook 'Shetland in the Iron Age', together with a series of talks from five visiting archaeologists.
The iBook includes 360° virtual walkable tours around three Shetland monuments which are on the UK Tentative List for World Heritage Status; Old Scatness Broch and Iron Age Village, Jarlshof Prehistoric and Norse Settlement, and the Broch of Mousa.
The interactive experience allows virtual readers to wander around the monuments’ inner workings, using staircases and corridors, as though they were on site. It also includes links to information, interviews, historic photographs and even worksheets for schools’ use. The iBook is designed to include something for everyone, regardless of age.
If you have an interest in Shetland’s archaeology and would like to hear more about the project as well as what lies ahead for the future of Old Scatness Broch, join us on Thursday 26th.
