Ukrainians Created an Online Museum of Stolen Art

A collection of digital exhibits, the originals of which were stolen by the russian army from Ukrainian museums in Sumy, Donetsk, Luhansk, Mykolaiv, Kherson, Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv regions and Crimea

The team of Linza agency has launched a virtual museum where everyone can see the pieces of art that the russians stole from the occupied territories of Ukraine. Unique paintings, manuscripts and jewels are exported to russia or sold on black markets around the world. Therefore, the only option to see the originals of the sketches of Arkhip Kuindzhi and paintings by Ivan Aivazovsky and Mykola Dubovsky, which were exhibited in the museum in Mariupol, is to attend the Museum of the stolen art virtually.

Also, the project developers are working on creating digital halls with exhibits which were stolen by russians from museums in the Sumy, Donetsk, Luhansk, Mykolaiv, Kherson, Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv regions and annexed Crimea.

The museum can be visited from anywhere in the world: just click on the link to the Museum of stolen art. During the tour, you can not only learn the history of paintings and their value for culture but also in real-time communicate with other visitors.
