In this way, a new vision of cultural heritage accessed via computer is emerging: virtual cultural heritage. The aim of this paper is to investigate the consumption process of virtual cultural heritage, by examining the main characteristics of its consumers and how they make use of digital educational content, in order to more deeply understand the link between consumption experience and virtual cultural heritage.
