The Florida Museum's OpenVertebrate project offers a virtual collection of 13,000 3D models of vertebrates, including mammals, reptiles, birds, fish- in fact, virtually any animal with an internal or external skeleton.
High-resolution photos and x-ray scans are then processed to bring out their most interesting features. The best part is that you can examine them from every angle, as they are 3D models.
A visit to the specimen gallery will allow you to judge the quality of this proposal. To see them in 3D, go to the Florida Museum section on SketchFab.
The problem with 3D is that the files are very large and often require a special player to view them. Managing and distributing them is a further complication. It is precisely these problems that SketchFab proposes to take on. If you have 3D models, SketchFab offers to host and distribute them free of charge. If you wish to control distribution and even monetize your models, a range of subscriptions is available.
Most museums and universities have collections of artefacts whose size or value is often unknown to anyone other than the few curators who maintain them. This kind of technology makes it possible to manage and disseminate them on a scale of interest to researchers and the public alike.

From the story of one building to the story of the world
The scars of an old building tell the story of its history and the legacy left by its successive inhabitants. It preserves the memory of owners and tenants and reflects the history of the country. Ruth Zylberman sensitively tells the story of a Paris building from 1840 to 2017, searching for the many traces left by the generations who have lived there.
The crisis of the Grandes Écoles and the production of skills
The "crisis of the grandes écoles" can be understood in different ways. One can see in it the premises of an epistemological rupture in the function of the engineer and therefore of his training. The claim of the youngest students is essentially based on the refusal to continue to make the engineer an executor of the industrial expansion that destroys nature.
