Developed by The Princess & The Platypus Foundation, this innovative digital museum offers a detailed view of Diana's contributions "to philanthropy, her personal life, and her impact on the world." This virtually guided experience is due to the efforts of The Princess & The Platypus Foundation, as Diana's items were previously dispersed across various locations, and are now consolidated into a single virtual space. Moreover, to commemorate the 27th anniversary of Princess Diana’s passing, the Foundation is offering a Free Week Pass for this unique 3D museum experience. From August 31st to September 7th, 2024, the [virtual museum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virtual-memorials) will be accessible to the public with this pass.
