In an attempt to bring the detailed beauty and cultural significance of the ark to a worldwide audience, an ambitious project was recently launched, at the center of which was a 3D scan of the ark and the creation of an interactive 3D, visitor and web display.
Following the demise of the Jewish ghetto in WW2, the ark was transported to Jerusalem where it lately underwent extensive conservation and restoration at the Nahon Museum of Italian Jewish Art. The ark survived endless trials and tribulations, reflecting the turmoil of its culture rich Jewish community. Created in 1543, it housed the Torah scrolls of the Scola Grande Synagogue. The magnificent Torah Ark of the Scola Grande Synagogue in Mantua, Italy, is one of the oldest arks in the world today.
