FUNES
Digitizing monuments and cultural heritage into high-quality 3D models

FUNES is a 3D cultural heritage archive that digitizes monuments, artifacts, and historic sites into high-quality 3D models, panoramas, and guided stories. The platform hosts over 1,600 models spanning 18+ countries, making them freely accessible to museums, researchers, and the general public. It operates as an open-source, community-driven project aimed at preserving the physical world for future generations.
FUNES digitizes monuments and heritage sites into 3D models and panoramas, then organizes them into an online archive with guided stories that anyone can browse for free.
