Codici Corali
They are 58 enormous books, housed in the Museo dell’Opera di Santa Maria del Fiore and kept in special display cases where no one could leaf through them. Until now.
An online archive to browse all the Choir Books
We brought all the Choir Books together on a public website that offers a whole new experience. Now you can leaf through every single choir book as if you were at the Museum, enjoying every page and miniature these splendid books have to offer.
Museum kiosks
We built two kiosks, huge screens where visitors can browse all the choir books, scanned in high definition and zoomable, complete with separate details and accurate descriptions for every page.
Set in the wing of the Museum where the real Choir Books are on display, these two kiosks offer two different experiences.
Music kiosk
This kiosk lets visitors browse the 3 Choir Books selected by the Museum each month and listen to their chants.
Once you select a choir book, it opens and the description of the pages chosen by the Museum that month appears beside it. Descriptions are in both Italian and English, and to make the experience even more realistic, the music plays in the background: the choir as it was sung from these scores.
