The development of IT-technologies has led to the widespread adoption of web-solutions almost in every area of activity, particularly, in the process of threedimensional interactive visualization. The application of such means has a positive reaction in many kinds of activity, allowing one to receive information in a more visual form, for example in the field offine arts. There is a huge amount of private museums, flat-museums, and personal collections, which actually are mini-museums. A demand has arisen for a technique of creating virtual mini-museums and parading them in the Internet. The rational algorithm is considered for creation of the virtual mini-museum-automated resource, which presents an interactive panorama with a three-dimensional navigation and a possibility of using a database to obtain the required information. The sequence of actions to create the panoramic sweep using the PTGui and Pano2V software modules is presented. Recommendations on preparing the structure of the web-panorama software running are given. An example of developing and including an extra module-the database is described (with investigation of its info logical and data logical models). A model of the dialog graph interface implementing the interaction between the user and the system is offered. The considered algorithm of the virtual mini-museum creation can be regarded timely, convenient, and promising in view of a good demand for web-oriented three-dimensional interactive technologies.
