RETOLD Visibility
From the beginning of the year 2021, EXARC has been working on creating a clear style for the RETOLD project: the products and communication.

The conference focused on the use of digital media for knowledge transfer in museums. It was clear enough that digitizing content enfolds a whole new world of possibilities...
We do it again – EXARC sends in EU Project Application
On November 26, EXARC sent in a project application to Brussels.
