From real life into the world of art is a virtual exhibition, which offers an experience midway between a scientific publication and an interactive presentation. As the result of an international research project, it aims to analyse relationships between visual and performing arts in the European context of the 16th to 18th centuries.

Through an innovative combination of audio-visual media, the exhibition offers 15 narratives relating to historical festivals, entries, operas, ballets and artworks of particular significance within the history of art and the performing arts. By making the contents accessible online and allowing the users to choose specific routes, the exhibition addresses both the academic community and a wider audience.
