According to the press release, VR KOLO is the infrastructure of the future that connects culture, education and innovation. The project was implemented with the support of the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation in partnership with Forward Inc. and the Museum Development Fund.

Such a project is especially important against the background of the long war, due to which Ukraine lost hundreds of cultural monuments. Thanks to VR KOLO, it is possible to both preserve and restore a cultural presence, thanks to the digitization of lost artifacts.
“VR KOLO is a way to preserve and bring heritage back to life, to make the museum a place of action, not just contemplation. We are creating a sustainable infrastructure that will work every day and be updated with new exhibitions. This is a new museum culture, where heritage becomes alive, accessible and unifying,” Anton Shinkaruk, head of the Digital History Center, emphasized.
Currently, five institutions are connected to VR KOLO: the National Architectural and Historical Reserve “Chernihiv Starodavnyi”, the National Reserve “Khortytsia”, the Okhtyr City Museum of Local Lore, the Prylutsky Museum of Local Lore and the State Historical and Cultural Reserve of Dubno.

The project already has more than 120 digital exhibits — and each one has its own story: from ancient artifacts to objects damaged during hostilities. The uniqueness of the VR tour is that each of the most valuable artifacts can be examined as closely as possible — the most fragile ones can be enlarged and even held in one’s hands.
The VR KOLO team also announced the expansion of the network and openness to cooperation with museums, urban communities, educational institutions and donors. Upon request, participants will receive a technical audit, training and support for the launch of VR zones in their cities.
