First the exhibition was built on one floor, like a scale model. Later on the idea of the surrounding building was added, indicated mainly by its front. (The actual building dating from the 17th century.)
The walls are done in a transparent layer, which is in 'phantom' mode, which means a visiting avatar can visit the place by crossing the wall. The roof is also transparent, but not phantom, one can walk on this roof, and look inside.
This transparent shape indicated the building but makes it possible too that the exhibition can be easily overseen.
In the picture above the building is still having only the upper exhibition floor and the basement is formed by the map of
The outside is now formed by bricks. The buildings around the virtual museum are huge, and were expected to be huge. This recreates the real surroundings of the real museum. The Schielandhuis is dwarfed by the skyscrapers around it.
Slowly connections are made to neighbours. Streets and pathways are formed between the virtual neighbours.
A garden was added next to museum. And surrounding the museum are bricks.
On the museum a giant butterfly is added, to attract the eye. Some realistic particle effects are added, like smoke, and snow in winter.
