The project can be visited at https://jecza.ro/, where visitors can find elements of 2D images, augmented reality images, virtual tours to view works of art, as well as an impressive digital collection of Peter Jecza sculptures.

The digital sculpture collection aims to select 100 works, in order to constitute a digitally processed pilot collection, which will add a virtual identity to the existing one in material form. We will thus have a museum and its virtual projection, accessible to any non-present visitor.
