MUSEUM exhibits in storage can be viewed, thanks to a Heritage Lottery Fund grant.
Durham University's Oriental Museum received £30,000 to create a virtual display of its collections of South Asian textiles and Indian miniature paintings.
More than 200 items held in storage for many years have been photographed and described by a curator.
They have been put in a catalogue of images, available on the museum website and at its shop.
The grant also enabled the museum to install two showcases for a rotating display of textile and miniature paintings in the Indian Gallery. A schools resource pack has also been made.
