This app is a "virtual museum" where you can view and learn about the artwork stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston in 1990.

Currently working on a more ambitious survival horror game for Windows with AppGameKit, but this was a short side project last month. This is the first phone app I've ever published. Made it in about a week. I'm a DarkBASIC transplant from years ago and love AppGameKit. Hope more improvements and capabilities are down the road for phone and desktop development.

Cool idea

I had similar thoughts awhile back and started making 3d models of historic art that is in the public domain.

Even used them as the dynamic entities to run some scripts, even though they just hang on the wall in all their static glory.

These "virtual museums" are a great idea for educational VR experiences. (especially with lockdowns... every museum should have one
