Abstract
Life in an era of accelerated technological progress has opened up numerous opportunities for the improvement and modernization of museum activity, so museums all over the world have made significant investments in designing and creating experiences that strive to meet the expectations of modern visitors. Because the use of three-dimensional digital technologies in everyday museum work is at the heart of the exhibition “The Pathways of Homo sapiens”, this case study diachronically follows the process of incorporating individual technological solutions into the Regional Museum Pljevlja’s research, documentation, and pedagogical-didactic activities. The exhibition’s core concept was to maintain the conventional structure in which the exhibited artefacts will be the central aspects of the exhibition, while also achieving a new educational and entertaining perspective by arranging the exhibits in a more appealing atmosphere. The study is instructive because it demonstrates that the process of providing appealing educational and entertainment content is not always associated with big material resources, nor is it limited to larger museums and wealthier societies. A special emphasis is placed on the most significant moments in the museum’s work that enabled the use of three-dimensional digital technologies in everyday professional activities, as well as the application of these technologies to achieve desired design and aesthetic effects in an improvised manner.
