Online-museum of Traditional Art of Ukraine

THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED AND RESEARCHERS who want to understand what Ukrainian traditional art is will find here:

■ thousands of exhibits, illustrated by over 45 thousand high-quality photo-reproductions;

■ high-quality digitization, achieved by the KROVETS-PRO Digitization Standards (which set the  minimum number of photo-shots and the layout and appearance of each photo-shot for each category of exhibits to ensure a reliable visual photo representation of each category of traditional art); this allows viewing each exhibit as if holding it in your hands;

■ analytics with graphs, which help see the grand picture of the traditional art of each region (which features and characteristics were dominating, and which were one-of-a-kind);

■ classification of exhibits by "local styles", which outline the bright phenomena of traditional art inherent in each region.

CREATORS (DESIGNERS, ARTISTS, WRITERS) for enriching their visual experience and inspiration, and for the ability to reproduce in their own content correct historical settings and true aesthetics of the time, will find here:

■ a reliable source of historical samples of clothing and household items from different regions, areas, and time zones, organized by categories and regions;

■ a large number of high-quality photo-reproductions for each exhibit (under subscription);

■ a moodboard for keeping favorite photo-reproductions, and an opportunity to purchase photo-reproductions in high quality (under subscription).

PUBLISHERS, MANUFACTURERS OF MUSEUM MERCH AND HAND-MADE MASTERS to earn income from the legal use of photo-reproductions, as well as from mass or piece-by-piece production of replicas of exhibits or reproduction of individual ornaments or their parts, will be able to:

■ keep the photo-reproductions they like in their own moodboard (under subscription);

■ contact the copyright holders to obtain permissions;

■ offer their merch (replicas and products inspired by exhibits) through the "Museum Store" - a virtual showcase containing illustrations of merch with a direct link to the online store where this merch can be purchased.

MUSEUMS AND PRIVATE COLLECTION OWNERS for professional accounting for their own exhibits, for safe publication of their collections and for monetization of their efforts have:

■ a free online accounting system and platform for publishing their exhibits;

■ the online platform for selling their photo-reproductions and merch;

■ an opportunity to publish their collections in EUROPEANA for free.

OUR SUBSCRIPTION allows:

■ viewing all photo-reproductions of each exhibit in low quality (not just the title one);
