Virtual exhibitions of the National Art Museum of Ukraine

The National Art Museum of Ukraine is actively rethinking its role in the modern world, responding to the demands of society and the need for an accessible cultural space. NAMU virtual exhibitions on the emuseum.online platform open up new opportunities for getting to know art regardless of location, time or circumstances. This is a step towards an open museum that is always close to the visitor — online.

Today, two virtual exhibitions of the National Art Museum of Ukraine are already available on the platform, expanding the museum's presence in the digital environment and allowing for new interactions with the collection. The virtual format creates a modern viewing experience, making Ukrainian art visible and accessible to a wider audience in Ukraine and beyond.

A feature of NAMU online exhibitions

One of the key features of NAMU online exhibitions is that the exhibits are presented in the space of the museum's native walls. The building of the National Art Museum of Ukraine has been completely recreated in a virtual environment - with its architecture, halls and the logic of exhibition movement. Thanks to this, the works of art remain in their usual context, and the museum itself, which is over 100 years old, has been preserved in the format of a digital repository.

When viewing a virtual exhibition, the visitor does not just look at individual works - he walks through the halls of the museum, feeling the space and scale of NAMU as if he were inside the building. The online exhibition turns into a full-fledged visiting experience, combining art, architecture and the memory of the place, adapted to a modern digital format.

Each virtual exhibition of NAMU is unique

Each virtual exhibition of NAMU is a unique project created at the intersection of curatorial work, a scientific approach and digital technologies. A team of specialists is involved for its implementation, which is often larger than when creating an exhibition in a physical space. In addition to curators and editors who form the concept, select exhibits, think through the logic of the halls and accompanying texts, technical specialists — 3D designers, developers, UX specialists — are involved in the process.

They are the ones who recreate the exhibition in a virtual environment with real-world spatial scales, precise architecture, thoughtful navigation, and interactive elements. Each project requires individual solutions — from the way the visitor moves through the halls to the forms of information presentation, visual accents, and digital interactions. As a result, the virtual exhibition becomes not just a digital copy, but an independent cultural product in which art, space, and technology create a new experience of interaction with the museum.
