Objective: Perform a state-of-the-art review of virtual museums, focusing on the subcategory of “imagined” or comprehensive museums, to inform the development of a virtual museum project at the University of La Frontera. This involves reviewing their conceptualization, typologies, relevant experiences, and associated technologies. Design/Methodology/Approach: A strategy was designed from a qualitative perspective that contemplates the use of theoretical methods: analytical-synthetic and historical-logical, and documentary analysis as an empirical method. Results/Discusion: The research and tour through the exposed points allowed to guide the search and identify the most efficient technologies for the integral virtual museum project to be developed. Conclusions: The research resulted in the identification of the themes and perspectives from which the subject is approached; a better understanding of this complex category; the discovery of national and foreign experiences of virtual university museums and the identification of technologies and current trends in virtual museography. Originality/Value: An overview of the subject is established with the purpose of knowing the main updates, other national and international experiences, and the new routes of virtual museography, in order to justify and validate the relevance of the research project to be developed.
