Faces from Scotland's past come to life after forensic reconstruction

As visitors explore a recently opened museum in Scotland, they encounter lifelike digital facial reconstructions of people who lived centuries ago. These reconstructions, combining art, anthropology, technology, and archaeology, are on permanent display at the museum. The reconstructions are based on skulls found across Scotland, including individuals from the Bronze Age, Iron Age, and Scotland’s medieval period. Visitors can witness the entire process of making the facial reconstructions, from viewing the skulls to the creation of digital models. They can even digitally build facial models themselves and make adjustments. The museum aims to humanize the story of the region’s past inhabitants through these reconstructions.
