Anyone can take a virtual tour of the Marc Chagall House-Museum in Vitebsk

August 13, Vitebsk / Diana Kurilo - BELTA /. Anyone can now take a virtual tour of the Marc Chagall House-Museum in Vitebsk, museum director Lyudmila Khmelnitskaya told a BELTA correspondent. To do this, you just need to go to the museum's homepage on the Internet and find the "Virtual Tour" section. An invisible guide will lead the armchair traveler through the old streets of Vitebsk associated with Chagall's name - the current Kirov Street, which was called "Vokzalnaya" in Chagall's time; Revolutionnaya Street, which the artist remembered as Bolshaya and Malaya Ilyinskaya; and, of course, his native Pokrovskaya Street. The artist's house-museum is located here, and each room is also open for virtual viewing. Just like on a real tour of the house-museum, after viewing the exhibition, the tourist will go to the inner courtyard, where Chagall's apple trees grow and a monument to the master by Vitebsk sculptor Valery Moguchy is located. The virtual traveler is also given another opportunity: to watch the documentary film "Welcome Back, Marc Zakharovich". The project, timed to the 125th anniversary of Marc Chagall's birth, was implemented by the museum in collaboration with Valery Kulenenok, Associate Professor, Head of the Design Department at Vitebsk State University named after P. Masherov, and a member of the Belarusian Union of Designers. Lyudmila Khmelnitskaya hopes that the virtual tour will not only introduce everyone interested to the museum's exhibition but also encourage tourists to visit Vitebsk and the house-museum of the famous artist in person. -0-
