This history is traced by the visitor experience, from a free observation/browsing, to the guided observation, studying the types of interaction that the visitor engages in, to the object  information  that he or she acquires or handles in the visit, and also considering the essence of the museum as a  sacred place . Do the most advanced models of virtual museums offer the same innovation in the fruition of the information?  a1477965X (ISSN)
