Canon Mulet’s Mausoleum

3D Model

Canon Mulet’s Mausoleum at the Seu de Manresa (Catalonia).

Animated version of the fragment assembly simulation.

On December 2013 this amazing mausoleum baroque piece by the sculptor Josep Sunyer (1719) was shattered after being exposed to fire. For more than 6 months two restoration specialists undertook an involved and complex process of restoring the piece at the CRBMC (a division from the Catalan goverment specialised on heritage recovery). Today it is back on display at the Seu de Manresa church. In order to properly document the whole process and given the complexity of the sculpture chunks, digital photogrammetry was performed to create an extremely accurate 3D model of each fragment
