In this paper, we use 3DCG to restore the old building of the National Museum of Modern Art (currently the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo), which opened in Kyobashi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo in 1952 as Japan's first national art museum. I would like to report on the creation of Exhibition reproduction 3D walkthrough (exhibition name "Reproduction VR") of the exhibition "Abstract and Illusion: How to Understand Non-Realistic Paintings." We recreated the exhibition room of the old building based on highly accurate historical research, and installed the exhibition based on digital images and records of exhibition photographs (glass dry plates) stored in the art library. Then, we created "Reproduction VR" for this exhibition. This is a highly academic immersive digital content experience.
From October 12, 2022, ～ February 5, 2023, "Reproduction VR" was exhibited in the collection exhibition "Playback "Abstract and Illusion" (1953-1954)" as the first attempt at the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo. It attracted attention as one of the methods of researching exhibitions and materials and was well received as a VR that could be enjoyed like a video game.
