To preserve, study and present collections are three important principles of any museum. In maintaining these activities, museum institutions face a number of challenges, some old and some new. 3D digitisation has already proven to be a powerful tool both for the scientific study of museum collections, and for their conservation and display. The preliminary results of the Agora 3D Project indicate that photogrammetry can be a cost-effective technique for the digitisation of a large variety of artefact types, particularly in museums where the equipment and expertise required already often exist.
