Born in Milan. Built for the world's collections.
AerariumChain creates certified digital twins of entire art collections. High resolution 3D scanning, Gigapixel photography and multispectral imaging capture each artwork in minutes; every file is notarized on blockchain and streamed from the cloud to any device. This is how a collection enters this new era.
This is not a photograph. It is a digital twin: every crack and every grain, streamed to the device in your hand.
Beneath the surface, pure shape: three hundred million points, accurate to five hundredths of a millimeter.
On this ground truth, algorithms measure and compare: changes emerge before the eye can see them.
Down to every single triangle, notarized on blockchain with a certain timestamp. From this moment, forever.
The process
Digitizing a great collection used to take decades. We industrialized it: one kit, one operator, a pipeline that never stops.
One cart, one operator. The all-in-one scanning kit travels in an ordinary car, sets up in five minutes and runs a full day on its own battery.
Two to five minutes per artwork, around one hundred artworks a day: 3D geometry down to 0.05 mm, 101-megapixel photography, multispectral imaging where the work calls for it.
The fingerprint of each file is written to a public blockchain as it happens: a certain timestamp, tamper-proof provenance, evidence you can bring to an insurer.
Data streams to the cloud already structured. Within about 48 hours the twin is on the HUB, ready to be inspected from any device.
Paintings too3D scanning on a painting? The relief of the paint layer is captured along with the color.
Scan after scanEach new scan is compared with the last: the degradation of the pictorial surface becomes measurable.
The institution owns every right to its data. Always.
The platform
A digital twin is enormous: terabytes of geometry, texture and spectral data. The HUB makes it useful, three ways.
A streaming viewer brings full-resolution 3D, Gigapixel photography and multispectral data to any device, with nothing to download. Algorithms compare scans over time and flag changes before the eye can see them. Conservators annotate, measure and collaborate with specialists anywhere in the world.
Explore CARE
A growing set of applications puts the collection in front of people: interfaces for museum totems, XR experiences built from the twins, 8K stills and video for catalogs and media, certified 3D prints for restoration, temporary display or a gift worthy of a donor.
Explore SHOW
Fundraising services built on the twin: campaigns tied to restoration and acquisition goals, digital collectibles compliant with EU regulation, and a way for everyone who loves the collection to take part in its future.
Explore FUNDTrusted where art lives
We work with top-tier museums, Italy's Ministry of Culture and the national Digital Library: our twins are delivered to the public digital heritage in certified packages.
They talk about us:
Community
Behind every collection there are people who care for it and people who love it. We build for both: tools for the professionals, and ways in for everyone else. Tell us what your collection needs, or come see what the community is building.
We support the work of museum communities such as AAM and ICOM.
Ask for a demo: during the call we will stream a masterpiece's twin to your phone, full resolution, no downloads. Then we plan your collection's first campaign.
