To keep the memory of the numerous works stolen during the war alive, a group of Ukrainians has set up a virtual museum. But it’s about much more than just art.
Olena Zenchenko switches on her laptop, activates an avatar and sends it on a 3D tour through a virtual space. “We tried to make everything as simple and visitor-friendly as possible,” says the art director of the Linza communications agency in Kiev. “Anyone who wants to visit our museum doesn’t need any additional software or to register. The visit is free.”
Two dozen works of art are on display here, which were stolen by Russians in the first months of the war from the Arkhip Kuindzhi Art Museum in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol.
