In the digital age, art enthusiasts no longer need to travel far and wide to engage with curated collections. The rise of virtual exhibitions has revolutionised the way we appreciate and explore art, breaking geographical barriers and making it accessible to a global audience.
Many world-renowned museums, such as The Prado Museum in Madrid and the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, offer rich virtual tours and digital exhibitions. These digital visits are not only visually appealing but also informative, featuring high-resolution images, multimedia guides, and educational resources [1].
Online art fairs and events platforms, like Ocula, provide curated access to major contemporary art fairs around the world. This platform is ideal for those interested in contemporary art, offering a global perspective on current art trends and commercial exhibitions [2].

Specialized virtual exhibition platforms, like eMuseum.online, host some of the best virtual exhibitions globally, including projects by Ukrainian museums employing VR, 3D tours, and digital displays. These platforms are innovative for those interested in experiencing cultural heritage from remote locations anytime [5].
The use of augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) technology in online 3D virtual exhibition apps creates a more immersive art experience. For instance, the virtual exhibition on Eternal3D.com in Cerritos, California, United States, is presented in a 3D space [4].
Art galleries and museums also host online exhibitions on their websites, while some art festivals have transitioned to virtual formats, showcasing artists and their works through online exhibitions. Innovative platforms like Art in Bytes offer unique virtual exhibition experiences [6].
Art magazines and online publications often feature articles about upcoming virtual exhibitions and events in the art world. Websites dedicated to listing events and exhibitions, such as Eventbrite or Meetup, might have information on virtual art exhibitions. Online art forums and blogs also share information about virtual art exhibitions, especially those focused on specific art genres or themes [7].
Technology advancement has introduced a new era of art appreciation, characterised by virtual exhibitions. Artistic masterpieces are no longer confined to traditional galleries and museums, as they can now be explored and appreciated from the comfort of one's home. The Evolution of 3D Art Exhibitions has transformed the way art is perceived and engaged with, offering a unique way to explore and appreciate art through technology [8].
Artists and art organisations promote virtual exhibitions on social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, making it easier for art enthusiasts to discover upcoming exhibitions.
