VIENNA.- The Belvedere is one the first museums worldwide to launch its own game on the Roblox digital platform. Art Leap brings to life four paintings from the collection, recreated with incredible detail and enriched with interactive features. During the test phase, the Belvedere innovation has already been played over 300,000 times and has garnered an impressive 97% positive feedback rating.
The Belvedere is introducing a new, interactive approach to art education: With the Roblox game Art Leap, players can immerse themselves in the captivating worlds of four masterpieces and experience art from an entirely new perspective. Whether assisting Gustav Klimt, acting as Napoleon’s envoy at the Great St. Bernard Pass, stepping into the shoes of a chef in France, or exploring the Vienna Prater as a squirrel – each world presents three exciting mini-games filled with adventure.
In various roles, players explore the stories and backgrounds of the following artworks: The Kiss by Gustav Klimt, Napoleon at the Great St. Bernard Pass by Jacques-Louis David, The Cook (Le Père Paul) by Claude Monet, and Spring in the Prater by Tina Blau. Players will uncover fascinating facts about the paintings as they solve puzzles and master challenges across multiple levels.
Through Art Leap, art is made accessible in a fresh, engaging, and, above all, entertaining way. Our goal is to ignite passion for art and culture, especially among the younger generation, says Stella Rollig, director of the Belvedere.
