UNESCO to open a virtual museum
20.10.2023

It will be a virtual museum of stolen cultural artifacts, UNESCO plans to create it in 2025. All the exhibits exist in reality, but no one knows where they are.

Visitors will be able to navigate through virtual spaces where these exhibits exist in 3D format. Visitors will learn unique facts, interesting stories and information about cultural significance about each of them.
According to The Antiquities Coalition, the most significant of the stolen items worldwide:
— the inscription on the alabaster stone of the 3rd century from the temple of Avvam in Yemen, disappeared in 2009-2011;
— An ivory relief from the 7th century BC depicting a lion attacking a Nubian from the Baghdad Museum disappeared in 2003;
— A green stone mask stolen from a Maya parking lot in Rio Azul in Guatemala in the 1970s;
— A 5th-6th century Varahi statuette, taken from a temple complex in Indian Rajasthan in 1988.
In total, the database of cultural values contains more than 52,000 artifacts stolen from museums or collections.
The idea of the museum is that its exposition is constantly shrinking as the items come back one by one and one day it is closed for good.
Would you like to visit such a museum?)
