"Scan the World" is an open-source museum that offers a vast archive of 18,000 digital scans of
significant sculptures and cultural artifacts from art history. This collection includes renowned works
like the "Bust of Nefertiti," Rodin’s "The Thinker," and Michelangelo’s "David," all available for free
download and 3D printing.
COLOSSAL
Users can search the collection by artist, location, or collection, and each artifact's page provides
historical context, location details, and technical specifications such as dimensions and estimated
print time. The platform has collaborated with Google Arts and Culture to expand its offerings, adding
thousands of additional pieces.
