Digital Art: TerraNova's New Scanner
The TerraNova estate now has the ability to scan high-quality art collections, including graphics, paintings, and even sculptural reliefs. The new Image Access WideTEK 36 ART-600 large-format scanner captures the finest details and textures thanks to contactless technology and high resolution.

The scanner supports three-dimensional objects and can accommodate multiple works in a single scan. The process can be controlled remotely, making the work even more convenient. Digitization will help us preserve and present works of art in digital format, as well as use them in research, publications, and virtual exhibitions.

Technology in the service of art
Modern digitization technologies face unique challenges when working with fragile works of art, requiring careful handling and the highest reproduction accuracy. The WideTEK 36 ART-600 scanner combines cutting-edge design with a deep understanding of the needs of museums and reprographic services. This equipment redefines the standards of contactless scanning, offering advanced capabilities for the preservation of cultural heritage.
The same scanner is used in the world's most renowned galleries. For example, at the Hermitage, over six months of continuous operation, this model digitized 12,000 exhibits from its graphic collection, including works by Rembrandt and Dürer.
It proved particularly effective in scanning pastels, a traditionally problematic category due to pigment shedding. In the Louvre's restoration workshops, the equipment is used to document conservation processes. The 3D scanning mode captures the microrelief of the paint layer with an accuracy of up to 15 microns, creating the basis for predictive deformation modeling.
Similar scanners are used at the National Gallery in London to digitize Old Master masterpieces, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York to work with large-format watercolors and textiles, and at the Tokyo National Museum to preserve traditional Japanese scrolls and ukiyo-e prints. At the Vasa Museum in Stockholm, they're using it to digitize large ship plans, and at the New Jerusalem Museum near Moscow, they're using it to digitize a variety of exhibits, from archaeological finds to paintings.
Stay tuned—we'll soon share more about how this scanner is helping our project!
