“# Why the world\u2019s largest museum is embracing NFT technology<\/a> <\/strong>”

Eventually, all museums will build their digital copy in the metaverse, according to Dmitry Ozerkov, the head of the Contemporary Art Department at The State Hermitage Museum.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ozerkov is currently developing the \u201cCelestial Hermitage\u201d, a digital version of the iconic Russian museum, which will be exhibiting NFT art.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We are all moving into the digital era and our digital twin will be following us everywhere”, Ozerkov told Cointelegraph in an exclusive interview.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The State Hermitage in Saint Peterburg, Russia, is the largest museum in the world by gallery space with around 3 million works of art. <\/p>\n

In September 2021, the museum took its first steps in the NFT world by selling 5 digital reproductions of its most famous masterpieces in the form of NFTs raising almost $450,000. <\/p>\n

In November the Hermitage launched its first entirely digital exhibition, titled \u2018The Ethereal Aether\u201d, where 38 NFTs are showcased within a digital reconstruction of the museum.<\/p>\n

Unlike the physical Hermitage, where visitors can only watch the works o display, the virtual exhibition allows visitors to interact with the NFTs on display.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“You can pass through these doors without touching anything, while in the virtual world, you can do anything: you can play with artworks, you can make them interactive, you can add data to it”, explained Ozerkov.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The exhibition can be visited online for free until December 10th. <\/p>\n

As pointed out by Ozerkov, the interest of the Hermitage in NFTs transcend market dynamics and seeks to investigate the artistic value that NFT can bring into the contemporary art world. <\/p>\n

\u201cMy idea was to take a selection of existing works out of the market and to put them into the museum and to have a look: what remains in them as art? Is there any art there or we like, what we value in them is only money?\u201d.<\/p>\n
