Abstract This paper starts with an overview of virtual art exhibitions, discussing their advantages and limitations compared to physical galleries. Then, it introduces the concepts of sound design, specifically sonification and musification, and their applicability in virtual art exhibitions. The potential for enhanced immersion through the integration of sound is explored. The paper presents the implementation of a demo web platform using the Unity game engine, highlighting the technical details and design choices involved. This platform serves as a practical example of incorporating sound design principles into virtual art exhibitions. The paper aims to contribute to the understanding of the role of sound in enhancing the immersive experience of virtual art exhibitions, providing insights for researchers, artists, and developers in the field.
