New forms of art have developed because of the possibilities that modern technology provides for artists. However, innovative technology can not only be used in the creation of new media art but also sets a range of new opportunities for the presentation and communication of visual art. In this paper, we want to introduce an approach for the presentation of visual artworks in interactive virtual environments. In this work, we showcase a project that focuses on the problem of exploring and implementing innovative approaches and technologies for displaying art in a 3D virtual environment. We wish to excite people about art by offering them an entertaining and educational virtual experience. Furthermore, we want to contribute towards escaping from the common exhibition space by creating a virtual application that augments the presented artwork by offering an interactive audience experience.
