To commemorate the 500
th
anniversary of the birth of John Calvin, the International Museum of the Reformation, Geneva has organized an exhibition entitled "A Day in the Life of John Calvin". MIRALab has simulated in 3D the Reformer in his familiar surroundings and activities; this helped foster a better understanding of his life, in the manner of a documentary film. How do we represent this emblematic figure in the context of the XXI century when almost nothing left of the iconographic testimonies? This question raises the major challenge existing in 3D reconstruction of tangible and intangible cultural heritage artefacts. The main difficulty is to obtain a 3D representation which accurately reflects and respects the character built upon the collective memory. In this paper, we focus on the 3D simulation of a mythic figure of the reformer -era based on the convergence of various historical data. As a result, we provide 3D scenes depicting key moments of a day in the life of John Calvin.
