The Metropolitan Museum of Art is edging closer to the metaverse in a bid to shake up the museum-going experience.
The museum announced today that it has partnered with telecommunications company Verizon to launch Replica, a new app that allows users to engage with art from its collections in virtual space.
The app can be used with Roblox, the popular gaming platform, where a new virtual version of the Met, including spaces like its Fifth Avenue façade and its Great Hall, can be explored.
