The Ukrainian company Skeiron, in partnership with digital agencies Enqo and Linza, has created the virtual exhibition 'Museum of Stolen Art," dedicated to cultural values lost due to Russian aggression.
"This metaverse contains interactive 3D models and digital replicas of famous artworks and historical heritage objects that were damaged during the war. One of the key exhibits is a 3D recreation of the Drama Theater in Mariupol, serving as a digital memorial to the victims of the tragedy," as shared on Skeiron’s Instagram page.
The museum showcases works of visual and monumental art, archaeology, and ethnography, including pieces by Ukrainian artist Arkhip Kuindzhi, Mariupol mosaics, and exhibits from the Mariupol Local History Museum.
Visitors can freely explore each exhibit in a video game format: moving around with an avatar, reading detailed descriptions, and listening to audio guides.

The project’s initiators plan to gradually add new exhibits from destroyed and temporarily occupied regions of Ukraine, including Kherson, Chernihiv, Donetsk, and Crimea. In addition to preserving cultural monuments, the museum aims to raise awareness of the destruction of Ukrainian heritage, reminding the world of the importance of protecting cultural identity during war.
All exhibits are accessible from anywhere in the world, and the museum supports both English and German languages.
