Emuseum: Digital Travels Through Kyiv for Children and Adults

Modern technologies open up new possibilities for exploring history and culture. Emuseum’s online exhibitions and interactive projects allow visitors to immerse themselves in the past without leaving their homes. For tourists and Kyiv residents alike, this project has become a fantastic way to explore the city and its cultural heritage.

Discovering Kyiv in a New Way: Emuseum’s Virtual Exhibitions

One of Emuseum’s key directions is digitizing Kyiv’s cultural and historical sites. Thanks to advanced 3D modeling technologies, VR tours, and interactive exhibits, anyone can now see iconic landmarks and artifacts in digital format.

Exploring Trypillia and Honoring Vikentiy Khvoyka’s Anniversary

In 2025, we celebrate the 175th anniversary of Vikentiy Khvoyka, the archaeologist who introduced the world to the Trypillian culture. Unique artifacts from the Kyiv Regional Archaeological Museum were selected as part of a joint project between the Emuseum and the Department of Culture and Tourism of the Kyiv Regional Archaeological Administration.

The "Saved Twice" Exhibition is not just a collection of artifacts but a true story of preservation. 6,000-year-old Trypillian artifacts discovered during archaeological expeditions have been given new life in digital format.

Opishnya Ceramics: Virtual Art for Everyone

Another unique Emuseum project is digitizing 20 Opishnya ceramic artworks in collaboration with the National Museum of Decorative Arts of Ukraine. These works, created in the 19th and 20th centuries, can now be viewed online.

Opishnya ceramics is not just a craft but an essential part of Ukrainian identity. Its patterns—suns, birds, flowers—symbolize a connection with nature and the traditions of our ancestors.

The First Monument to Taras Shevchenko in Ukraine

This project presents a "one-exhibit exhibition" dedicated to the first monument to Taras Shevchenko erected in Kharkiv. Thanks to 3D modeling, you can now see this "illegal" monument in digital format. The project was created in collaboration with the National Museum of Taras Shevchenko.

What did the monument look like? What is its history? Find out here:  https://emuseum.online/exhibitions/shevchenko/ 

Maria Prymachenko in the Digital World

Thanks to Emuseum’s collaboration with the National Museum of Decorative Arts of Ukraine, the first virtual gallery of Maria Prymachenko has been created. Now, Kyiv residents can explore 72 previously unexhibited works by famous artists in VR space.

Visit the museum, purchase a ticket to the virtual gallery, interact with exhibits, and even complete a quest!

Chornobyl in Augmented Reality: "Images of the Brave"

Emuseum, for the National Chornobyl Museum, created an augmented reality mirror called "Images of the Brave," presented at the "Different Together" festival at Mystetskyi Arsenal.

Visitors could "try on" the image of a Chornobyl disaster liquidator and take a photo. Over 150 photos were taken on the first day alone!

When and where can you try this technology? Find out on the museum’s website!
