Ukraine’s Meta History Museum: What you should know

While the war is raging in Ukraine, several Web3 initiatives has come up to support the country in the fight against Russia. One such notable initiative is the Meta History: Museum of War set up by the Ukrainian Ministry of Digital Transformation and the Ministry of Culture. First announced in March, the NFT Museum aims not only to help the country, but also to restore its cultural heritage. Here’s all you need to know about Ukraine’s Meta History Museum and how you can support the project.

What is the Metahistorical Museum of Ukraine?

Ukraine’s Meta History: Museum of War NFT platform was first announced by Mykhailo Fedorov, the country’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation. Initially, the platform dropped 54 NFTs to raise money for the Ukrainian government.

The NFTs contained tweets from official sources posted over a drawing by both Ukrainian and international NFT artists. The tweets included NATO’s call on Russia to stop the war. The NFT mainly marks the first three days of the war, between 24 and 26 February. In the months since its launch, the Meta History Museum has released several NFT collections.

“The MetaHistory NFT Museum was established to commemorate the history of current events in Ukraine, preserve the truth and collect donations for humanitarian aid,” the project’s statement states: website. “We have a new impression of the role of art in society – it must be relevant, courageous, activist. And forever. “

How does Ukraine’s Meta History Museum work?

First of all, Ukraine’s Meta History Museum selects news related to important events during the war in Ukraine. Then leading NFT artists create works of art based on their interpretations of the news. The museum then turns these works of art into NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain.

Later, the platform releases the NFTs as various drops during their primary project called “Warline”. Collectors can buy these NFTs by paying cryptocurrency. Finally, the NFT Museum donates all proceeds from the sale to the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine.

So far, the platform has raised around $ 1.2 million in funds (at the time of writing). Furthermore, it has held 91 auctions, two events in the meta-verse, and has 1955 NFTs in circulation.

How can you support the project?

The easiest way to support Ukraine’s Meta History Museum is to purchase their Warline NFTs currently available on the site. For Warline art collectors alone, the site has a dedicated auction site featuring rare, generative art NFTs by both Ukrainian and global artists. These NFTs are available at varying prices.

Alternatively, you can donate ETH directly to the project without necessarily buying an NFT. For this, simply go to the Meta History Museum’s website and click the “Donate” button. Then enter the amount of ETH you want to donate, connect to your wallet and complete the transaction.

Together with the Ukrainian government, several NFT artists and Web3 organizations have also come forward to raise money for Ukraine using NFTs. This includes RELI3F, UkraineDAO of Pussy Riots Nadya Tolokonnikova, and Vandalz for Ukraine by WhIsBe and Wladimir Klitschko, to name a few.
