How to show off your NFT collection like a pro
The world of NFT art is a relatively new experience for everyone, and there are still so many unexplored routes, especially when it comes to displaying your NFTs. While we’re mostly used to browsing marketplaces and viewing NFT artworks as tiles on a screen, there are indisputably better ways to experience NFT art. Check out some of these cool ways to explore and display NFTs in a new way.
Digital display in a physical gallery
A revolutionary approach to NFT viewing was recently introduced by Superchief, the “first physical NFT gallery.” While NFTs are innately digital as blockchain records, it’s amazing that art enthusiasts can experience them in a physical form as well.
Having the opportunity to get together with fellow art lovers and experience NFTs in a physical environment definitely brings out a new level of appreciation. Not only that, this displaying method opens up opportunities for gallery owners to draw in new collectors and allow them to experience modern art in a traditional environment.
Digital frames and canvases
Displaying NFTs in a physical gallery begs the question, “how?”. Well, it turns out that high-end tech developers are looking to answer this as fast as possible. One obvious choice is digital frames with a high-resolution display, allowing for all details of the artwork to be perfectly visible. However, a more grandiose artwork would require a huge digital frame, which might be a bit of a challenge to source. Because of this, some galleries have turned to high-quality projecting devices, allowing them to scale up the area the artwork takes up.
Another smart new tech comes in the form of Meural Canvases. NetGear, a company predominantly known for its home and office WiFi solutions, puts forward a modern-day canvas, allowing artists to display their digital work. The canvas functions a lot like a digital frame, but with an added passepartout making the picture pop. Bonus points go towards NetGear for creating a mobile app synced with the canvas, allowing artists and collectors to display different NFTs at the push of a button on their smartphones.
A gallery at home, or on the go
Displaying NFTs via digital screens allows a lot of freedom of expression. For example, collectors are now able to have their NFTs as wearables… The opportunities are endless!

Such innovative approaches to displaying NFTs are not only fascinating for collectors but also open up opportunities for creators to get into the NFT space in unimaginable new ways.
The Metaverse
Ah, the Metaverse. If you have no idea what the Metaverse is, check out our explainer article here. In terms of displaying NFTs for people to see and enjoy, the Metaverse has virtually no competition.
Metaverse galleries allow creators and collectors alike to build personalized galleries from scratch. While purchasing a physical gallery might seem overboard for a large portion of art enthusiasts, Metaverse galleries are easily accessible and allow for a lot of creative input. Creating a virtual gallery in the Metaverse enables you to customize a space and invite visitors for special events and gallery openings. Of course, all of this happens in a virtual reality, which means that your collection can reach an unlimited number of people, unlike shows in physical spaces. A big plus in the Metaverse is the opportunity to allow users to experience your collection through VR technology, essentially placing them right in the same space with your art.
Virtual galleries in the Metaverse allow owners of the plot to create a space that is out of this world. Do you want to have several different themed rooms in your gallery? Build it in a couple of clicks. Would you like to have two, three or four floors? Go ahead and add them. Everything in the Metaverse is completely customizable, and gallery-owners have the creative freedom to create the space they want.
VR technology allows visitors to get up close and view artwork intimately as if they are physically standing before the piece. Not only that, virtual galleries present the opportunity to directly sell NFTs, by linking them to marketplaces on the spot. This means that collectors can purchase art while browsing around, just like at traditional art auctions and gallery openings.
NFTs are constantly evolving, and so are the opportunities to present them to a wider audience. Digital art does not necessarily mean a broken connection with the physical world. Art is endless, and so are the opportunities to experience it.
