3D Crysede Models

We are so excited to share some of the brand new 3D Crysede models!

We took part in this project as we have a wonderful collection of Crysede hand block printed silk and linen garments from the 1920s/30s. We don’t have much display space for costumes within the museum so being able to have 3D photography of the garments means that we can offer far greater public access to the collection.

The collection is extremely popular with fashion and textile students and being able to exhibit them online will provide an invaluable research tool.

To view, the 3D Models visit https://sketchfab.com/Purpose3D/collections/penlee-house

Produced by Purpose 3D with support from Art Fund as part of Cornwall Museums Partnership #BeyondDigitisation project.
