Virtual museums are nothing new these days.
Technology has allowed people to take trips to some of the world's greatest museums on their couch. Now how about a virtual visit to stolen art?
UNESCO is building the world's first virtual museum of stolen cultural artifacts(文物). Their aim is to raise public awareness of culture heritage(遗产) protection.
"Behind every stolen work lies a piece of history," said UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay. "We want to place these works back in the spotlight so that more people can notice them."
The virtual museum works as an educational tool. It will offer visitors 3-D images of stolen artifacts. There will also be detailed information about their history.
The project will be designed by Francis Kéré. The architect won the famous Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2022. For the museum, he has designed a virtual globe with a spiral(螺旋的) central structure.
When it is opened in 2025, the museum will present 600 pieces of artifacts. One of the most important items is a 3rd-century alabaster stone inscription. It was taken from Awwam temple in Yemen. Visitors will also be able to see an ivory relief from the 7th century BC. The work of a lion attacking a man was stolen from the Baghdad Museum. A green stone mask looted(抢劫) from the Maya site of Rio Azul will also be on display.
"These are objects that once existed, but we don't know where they are," said Ernesto Ottone. He is UNESCO's assistant director-general for culture. "We will exhibit them in a space where we can really tell the story and the context behind them."
"No one has imagined a museum like this," Azoulay said. "The presentation of each artwork is a deep dive(深入研究) into its universe, its culture, and the society that produced it," she added.
