Today, in collaboration with Ukraine's Ministry of Culture and Information Policy along with local and international cultural institutions, we invite everyone to explore The Next Chapter of our ongoing project showcasing Ukraine's heritage on Google Arts & Culture.
In the words of First Lady of Ukraine, Olena Zelenska: "In a time when Ukraine is facing the most difficult challenges, our culture remains our strength and inspiration. The 'Ukraine is Here' project on Google Arts & Culture gives everyone an opportunity to discover outstanding Ukrainians who have glorified our land all over the world: Mykola Leontovych, Solomiya Krushelnytska, Maria Prymachenko, and Kateryna Bilokur and many more. Today, when Russian occupiers are trying to destroy our heritage, this project is especially important. It not only preserves Ukrainian culture but also promotes it worldwide. So let us together reveal the beauty of Ukraine to the world - its art, history, and traditions, because they are our strength and identity."
Ukraine is Here is a long-term initiative to digitize and share Ukraine's vibrant cultural history. It has now vastly expanded since it was first announced two years ago offering an unprecedented digital resource of immersive stories, virtual galleries, 3D historic treasures and videos - all in one place for global audiences to explore.
Below you'll find some of the highlights of what's new from the National Museum of Decorative Arts of Ukraine, Lviv Historical Museum, Ancient Lviv Museum, Ukrainian Institute, Skeiron, Ukraine House, Hopchytsya History Museum and many more partners.
