A museum is a repository that showcases valuable collections encompassing historical artifacts, art, and scientific exhibits, intended to capture the attention of the general public.However, to gain a deeper understanding of the historical collections within a museum, often a more profound exploration is required.One of the main challenges is the limited availability of information, which hinders visitors from obtaining adequate knowledge about these collections.Traditionally, museums have provided information in the form of brochures, which are not always effective.Interactivity plays a key role in modern application development.While virtual tour technology has been widely used to introduce buildings, its use as an educational tool is still evolving.This research adopts a methodology involving literature review, needs analysis, data collection, application design, development, implementation, testing, and conclusion drawing.The result is an Android-based application that incorporates virtual reality technology to offer a virtual tour experience at the Balaputra Dewa Museum.This application is expected to enhance accessibility and visitors' understanding of the historical collections in the museum.
