The facility has created a 360 degree virtual tour of its permanent collection People Places Possessions.

This museum collection features the stories of its people, past and present.

This sense of place is created through the entanglements of nature and culture, past and future dreams, shared stories and a collective memory. You can move through it fluidly or stop to read and consider in depth.

Dubbo Regional Council hopes the first virtual museum for the region will give teachers an opportunity to extend on their learning frameworks in schools, provide families with a place to share history, reminisce on 'the days gone by' and approach similar experiences between generations.

Cultural development coordinator Jessica Moore said the virtual tours could also be used by teachers as an online resource.

"The WPCC sees this as a new and exciting experience which offers a totally new lens to our museum but also allows those storytellers and Dubbo identities to continue spinning their yarns," Ms Moore said.

Dubbo mayor Ben Shields said people could access the tour from their own couch.

"The 360 experience of the museum is a first for Dubbo Regional Council, and adds to the already awesome suite of technology such as augmented reality that we are using across the region," he said.

The virtual museum can be accessed via the WPCC Facebook page or on its website.
