    Galleries, libraries, archives, and museums increasingly rely on 3D digitization, web visualization, and 3D printing to document, analyze, and share cultural artifacts in novel ways that ensure digital preservation and engage visitors. This paper showcases how handheld structured-light 3D scanning, WebGL visualization, and semantic web technologies have been leveraged to digitize and enhance access to Denmark's cultural heritage, focusing on the Bornholms Museum collection. We have developed a streamlined digitization workflow that produces highly detailed digital twins of Neolithic artifacts from the sites of Vasagård and nearby Rispebjerg, archiving them in ways compatible with the Danish national database for archaeological heritage while utilizing the latest data curation and dissemination techniques and standards, such as WebGL visualization and FAIR principles. The significance of exploring the rich archaeological materials found at these sites located on the island of Bornholm, Denmark, lies in the fact that digitization and digital exploration enhance our understanding of the types and histories of interactions among different groups and farming communities in the Baltic, including their technology, religion, and social organization. By enriching the digital twins with symbolic and cultural interpretations and structuring data using the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model and the ICON Ontology, our results demonstrate how to successfully integrate 3D heritage datasets with other global heritage resources. This expands access to Denmark's ancient history and allows the Bornholms Museum to reach new audiences both locally and internationally.
