    Samsung has partnered with the George Enescu National Museum to create a unique and interactive VR journey that captures the classical musician's legacy in a way that resonates with the digital generation.

    The Enescu 360 Gear VR exhibit is currently on display at the George Enescu National Museum in Bucharest, Romania. Using the latest VR technology, the experience offers visitiors a glimpse into the artist's life during his formative and most creative years.

    Those who can't physically make it to the venue in the Romanian capital to attend the exhibit can take part in the comfort of their living room. All they have to do is download the Gear VR Gateway application, which is available in the Oculus Store.

    This isn't the first time that Samsung has tried to preserve George Enescu's legacy. Back in June, it developed an interactive “At Enescu's Home” application for use at the Memorial Museum in Dorohoi, another city in Romania.
