the original research data to the public and providing tools enabling learning and exploration is an exciting and challenging scientific adventure that creates many new research opportunities involving not only computer science as enabling technology but also learning and communication, social science studies, and domain-specific areas from which the objects of study originate.

a wider group of domain experts, as well as non-experts. The second main production bottleneck is the process of closely linking any scientific or curatorial findings with the process of interpretation and exhibit production. The envisioned solution will thus support the whole chain, from scientific data collection and documentation of scientific discoveries, design, and interpretation of the information into non-linear stories, to production of end-user applications for exhibits. Figure 8 outlines how we refined, curated, and annotated the data, though the original data is the basis of every step in the process of developing the visitor experience in the gallery.

We have also taken initial steps to explore other opportunities offered by the digitization of museum artifacts, including laser scanning and photogrammetry, employed for the mummy of Neswaiu, as in Figure 9, and also 3D printing technologies of the scanned data. For example, the amulet of Neswaiu, still present within the mummy wrappings and behind glass, can now be physically reproduced in high-resolution detail through a process of digital virtual extraction (see Figure 10). Visitors can clasp and feel it and explore it physically, even though the mummy has never been unwrapped.

What does this development mean for the future of science visualization at public venues? One important aspect of sharing visualizations with the public may be authenticity of the science and resulting data. The public can interact with and explore the real underlying data, taking the visitor experience to a new level of engagement. The scientific story can be embedded in the interactive narrative on the table using points of scientific interest and told through the framing of the table installation with additional information about the process, from scan to installation.

Conclusion

Our findings demonstrate that science visualization has the potential to narrow the gap between the general public and research, as it allows scientists and curators to share the methods used to interpret and analyze the collections with visitors (such as determination of the age and sex of a mummy).
