Information Technology and Culture: The Ministry of Culture of Russian Federation entrusted institutions with a task of online programs developing

The Minister of Culture of Russian Federation Olga Lyubimova entrusted all federal cultural institutions with a task of their online programs developing.

Many institutions have been working with visitors in this format already: they launch virtual tours, broadcast performances, concerts, and lectures.

In particular, the Victory Museum has an official Youtube channel where it releases lectures on military items. Soon there will be broadcasted interactive programs featuring the exposition. The interactive programs intended for students will be released two times a week.

The State Russian Museum as well as the State Historical Museum, the Leo Tolstoy State Museum, the State Historical and Archaeological Museum-Reserve "Tauric Chersonese" and other institutions are developing virtual exhibitions.

Recordings of concerts and performances are available on the websites and Youtube channels of the Moscow and Saint-Petersburg Philharmonics, Mariinsky and Maly Theaters. Besides, on March 29, the Bolshoi Theater will broadcast online the “Romeo and Juliet” ballet, directed by Alexei Ratmansky.
