The Amoeba violin is a bowed string instrument presentat the Danish Music Museum in Copenhagen. The instrument is not played anymore due to its unpleasant sonorities and uncomfortable shape. In this paper we recreatethe Amoeba violin using extended reality technologies andsound synthesis by physical models. We design and evaluate two applications that can be used either at the museum(augmented reality version) or at home (desktop version)to learn about the history of the instrument and its sonorities. The app was created for the Danish Music Museum,Musikmuseet, located in Copenhagen, in response to thedemand for reduced contact of shared surfaces and officialcalls to stay indoors that followed the COVID-19 outbreakin 2020. User testing on both versions shows that they bothare considered easy-to-access and educative, however theAR version was more favoured overall.<br/
