The focus of the project has been the reconstruction and 3D visualization of artefacts from the Egyptian collection of the National Museum of Brazil, in Rio de Janeiro, many of them destroyed in the fire in 2018. In this article, the multidisciplinary development process of the virtual reconstruction of a mummy from the roman period (30 BC to 395 AD) and the partcipants'immersive experience are reported. The results show that this experiment, which explores techniques of virtual reality, digital reconstruction, gaming, and immersive narrative expands the possibilities of visualization and groupings of artefacts in a museum; manages to engage the public; and has great symbolic value in enabling the digital reconstruction of destroyed objects of the collectionComputing methodologies>Computer graphics>Graphics systems and interfaces>Virtual reality10.2312/gch.2020129989-92
