From the case to immersion
The Titanus Museum is an innovative museum offering an immersive experience through multimedia tools. The route leads to the discovery of the most important moments of the origins of San Marino and the history of the Republic: a journey through time retracing events from prehistory to the founding of the first Sammarinese nucleus by Saint Marinus, through the struggle for independence, the various invasions, the Placito Feretrano, the age of Napoleon and the twentieth century.
The rooms of the museum are themed environments. The visitor does not pass display cases: they enter the scenes. One room reconstructs in 3D the topography of Mount Titano in different eras; another uses synchronised projections to tell the founding of the community; another still entrusts to holograms the animation of historical figures uttering attributed phrases or documentary citations. The aim is not to replace collection museums but to flank them with a different narrative register.
«The Titanus is not an alternative to the State Museum: it is a different entry key to the same history.»
