Will my 3D gallery be found on Google?

Yes, but not the 3D view itself. The walk-through room is a drawn surface in the browser — a search engine can no more read text in it than in a video.

What gets found instead is two things: your gallery's front page with its title and description, and above all the page each individual work receives.

Every published work has an ordinary web page with a meaningful address, such as yourname.raumiva.com/werk/evening-light-at-the-harbour. The title, artist, year, technique, dimensions and your description all appear there as real text.

These pages are what appear in Google's results. They are also what you pass on when you share a single work.

Each of them additionally carries machine-readable details about the piece. They help Google understand that this is a work of art and who made it.

Your gallery gets a sitemap listing every published work, and it is submitted to search engines. New works are added to it on their own — there is nothing for you to submit.

Equally automatic: preview images and descriptions when shared on social media, sensible addresses derived from your titles, and redirects should an address ever change.

Give your works meaningful titles. “Evening light at the harbour” gets found; “IMG_2043” or “Untitled 7” does not. The title also forms the address of the work's page.

Write a few sentences about each work. Two or three sentences on the subject, its making or the technique are by far the biggest lever — they are almost the only text a search engine has about your work.

Fill in the artist, year and technique. These fields feed into the machine-readable details.

Give your exhibition a title and subtitle that say something. Both appear in the results list.

Reckon in weeks, not days. Search engines first have to find, assess and place a new address. A freshly published gallery typically appears under its own name after a few weeks; for general terms like “online art gallery” it takes considerably longer — there you are up against sites established for years.

The quickest route to your first visitors does not run through Google anyway, but through your own contacts: your newsletter, social media, the signature on your emails.

Visibility to search engines can be switched off in the settings. Your gallery then stays reachable at its address but disappears from the sitemap and is explicitly not indexed.

That makes sense for exhibitions meant only for an invited circle. It is not password protection, though: anyone who knows the address gets in.
