Ruskin VR/AR at Windermere Science Festival

10 May 2025

The Ruskin VR is at Windermere Science Festival this year, offering families a chance to try out our latest VR experiences and the AR postcards. The interactive sketchbook allows users to immerse themselves in Ruskin’s works and explore themes within The Ruskin Whitehouse Collection. The AR postcards present a range of subjects, including botany, wildlife, and the Mer de Glace.
