Welcome to the digital tour of the Archaeological Museum of Delphi! With this application / In this website you can tour the museum's 3D halls, examine the details of selected 3D exhibits, watch video-tours of the museum and get informed about our services for persons with disabilities In 2021, the Ephorate of Antiquities of Phocis, a Regional Service of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sports, implemented, through state funding, the creation of a digital virtual tour of the Archaeological Museum of Delphi intended for mobility- and hearing-impaired persons, in the context of Greece’s National Action Plan for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The action is subsumed under the National Action Plan for “culture, physically and mentally accessible to all” and forms part of a broader set of undertakings launched at the Archaeological Site and Museum of Delphi, addressed to people with mobility and vision impairment, such as the production of information panels and printed material in Braille writing system, as well as the provision of tactile tour programmes and the arrangement of visits with a special electric vehicle for people with mobility impairment.

This interactive app consists of three stages and 12 stops. After installing the app, stage one offers the choice of two languages (English-Greek) and two versions, for kids or for adults. Scanning the icon next to each display case will lead you to the relevant informational text. Before accessing each stop’s text, the kids version opens up the video of one of the animated moving Aigai bees. The concept behind this draws inspiration from the bee of Aigai, ever-present on the royal golden wreaths, assuming here the role of tour guide for the kids as they wander through the museum. There are 12 bee drawings in total. The informational text of the adult version can be saved in pdf form.
