The relationships between museums, artefacts and original sites are complex. How may we use mobile augmented reality (AR) to mend the gaps between both indoors and outdoors exhibitions as well as the opposition between central collections and the more peripheral sites of the original artefacts? In this paper we present two main cases where we have experimented with bringing the a digital copy of the displaced artefact back to its original environment, as well as bringing a digital copy of the original environment into the displaced object in the museum exhibition. Further, we report on a solution to solve the problem with indoor positioning (IPS) and how it can be seamlessly connected to GPS–based outdoor positioning for smooth transitions between inside and outside. Finally these cases were tested with three different hardware platforms tablets, smartphones and smartglasses. The solutions received very positive feedback from users testing on site.
