3D scientific website with good content.

Today I will told you about one great website with 3D content.
This website will have many 3D scientific objects.
You can see old building, old bones, old houses.
One good point to start also is the 3D view of Apollo 11 moon-landing mission command module. About this website the team tells us:

Smithsonian X 3D launches a set of use cases which apply various 3D capture methods to iconic collection objects, as well as scientific missions. These projects indicate that this new technology has the potential not only to support the Smithsonian mission, but to transform museum core functions. Researchers working in the field may not come back with specimens, but with 3D data documenting a site or a find. Curators and educators can use 3D data as the scaffolding to tell stories or send students on a quest of discovery.
