Ukraine is full of historical and cultural treasures. However, it is not always possible to visit every museum in person. That is why the Emuseum project opens new horizons for tourists, art lovers, and history enthusiasts by creating online exhibitions and virtual tours. These allow visitors to immerse themselves in cultural heritage from home.
What is Emuseum?
Emuseum is a digital platform that creates online exhibitions and virtual spaces, complementing or replacing traditional exhibition formats. Visitors can explore exhibits conveniently from anywhere worldwide, while museums can attract a wider audience by showcasing their collections online.
The Emuseum team is responsible for the entire cycle of virtual exhibition development:
- Creating exhibition scripts and concepts;
- Professional photo and video shooting of exhibits and museum interiors;
- Developing virtual tours and 3D models;
- Animation and sound design for complete immersion in virtual reality;
- Programming exhibitions for playback in VR glasses and interactive stands.
