The Ministry of Culture is working on an online register of cultural heritage and museum collections to help return stolen Russian exhibits. This was announced during a briefing by Deputy Minister of Culture and Information Policy Anastasia Bondar .

“We are working on an online register that will include a list of all cultural and archaeological heritage sites. In the future, it will interact with other important registers that are responsible for rebuilding and preventing corruption schemes. The Ministry of Culture also understands that the desire for rapid construction should not lead to chaotic urban development, “Bondar stressed.
She added that the second important project that the Ministry of Culture is working on is the project of digitizing the museum fund of Ukraine. Currently, there are more than 12 million museum values in Ukraine. The most important issue is that all museum registration cards are stored in the museums themselves in paper form.
“The creation of a single register of electronic accounting of museum funds will provide an opportunity to quickly navigate the number, list and condition of all objects in all museums. Thus, it will allow not only to control and monitor the state of cultural heritage in Ukraine, but also to return the exhibits stolen by Russia, “said the Deputy Minister.
Addition
In Ukraine , 30 museums were damaged as a result of a full-scale Russian invasion .
