The Cueva Pintada Museum and Archaeological Park, located in Gáldar and managed by the Cabildo de Gran Canaria, has formalized a collaboration agreement with the non-profit US organization Global Digital Heritage. This partnership will enable the creation of 3D digital reproductions using non-invasive photographic techniques, thereby ensuring the preservation of highly relevant historical artifacts found at the archaeological site.
The museum's primary mission is the conservation and interpretation of one of Canarias' most significant public archaeological sites, offering a deep insight into the history of Gran Canaria. Since its inauguration, it has become a benchmark in the study of the island's pre-Hispanic and colonial past, promoting research and innovation for heritage dissemination.
For the Cabildo de Gran Canaria, the conservation and research of the remains recovered over more than 36 years of excavations at Cueva Pintada is an absolute priority. Collaboration with specialized institutions like Global Digital Heritage, a pioneer in the global digitization of cultural heritage, guarantees the scientific and technical expertise required for these tasks.
Global Digital Heritage, founded in 2014, utilizes cutting-edge technology and experienced professionals to document, preserve, and disseminate global cultural heritage. The organization has made over 11,000 3D models of archaeological sites and collections from 18 countries available to the public, democratizing access to science and promoting digital humanities.
This collaboration will benefit both parties by fostering scientific and technical research, and facilitating the transfer of knowledge generated at the Cueva Pintada site to society through dissemination actions and public access to the museum's heritage collections.
