Empowering Culture Together

About Us

FUNDACJA WIRTUALIZACJI NARODOWEGO DZIEDZICTWA KULTUROWEGO (Foundation for the Virtualization of National Cultural Heritage) is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving, digitizing, and promoting cultural heritage through modern technology.

Our mission is to ensure that the treasures of our national and global heritage — from historical monuments and works of art to manuscripts, archives, and oral traditions — are safeguarded in digital form and made available to everyone, everywhere.

We believe that cultural heritage is the foundation of identity and collective memory. By combining tradition with innovation, we protect the past while making it accessible to future generations.

What We Do

1. Digitization of Cultural Assets
   We create high-resolution digital copies of artworks, documents, monuments, and collections using cutting-edge technology.

2. Virtual Museums & Exhibitions
   We design interactive platforms, 3D tours, and online galleries so that anyone — regardless of location — can experience cultural heritage.

3. Education & Public Engagement
   We organize workshops, seminars, and educational projects that teach the importance of cultural preservation in the digital age.

4. Research & Innovation
   We collaborate with academic and research institutions to develop new methods of digitization and long-term archiving.

5. International Cooperation
   We work with cultural and scientific organizations worldwide to share knowledge, resources, and best practices in digital heritage preservation.

Our Values

• Responsibility – Protecting cultural heritage is a duty to future generations.

• Accessibility – Culture should be open and available to all, without barriers.

• Innovation – We use the latest digital tools to preserve history.

• Transparency – As a non-profit, we use all donations and grants responsibly and openly.

• Collaboration – We believe preservation is strongest when institutions, communities, and individuals work together.

Who We Are

Our foundation is a team of cultural heritage experts, historians, technologists, archivists, educators, and volunteers united by a passion for preservation. We bring together knowledge of the past with the tools of the future.

We are officially registered as a non-profit organization and participate in programs such as Google Ad Grants, allowing us to reach more people worldwide, connect with supporters, and spread awareness about the importance of cultural digitization.

Why It Matters

Without protection, countless artifacts, artworks, and traditions risk being lost forever due to aging, neglect, disasters, or conflict. By virtualizing them, we not only safeguard their memory but also give people — from students to researchers, from local communities to global audiences — the chance to engage with culture in new and meaningful ways.

At FUNDACJA WIRTUALIZACJI NARODOWEGO DZIEDZICTWA KULTUROWEGO, we ensure that cultural heritage is not only remembered but experienced, shared, and passed on.

We believe that every historical monument, painting, manuscript, or tradition is part of our shared identity. Through modern digital technologies, we ensure that these treasures are preserved against loss and can be experienced by people worldwide, regardless of borders or circumstances.

Our Goals

Why It Matters

At FUNDACJA WIRTUALIZACJI NARODOWEGO DZIEDZICTWA KULTUROWEGO, our mission is simple yet powerful:
to keep the past alive, inspire the present, and safeguard culture for the future.

What We Do?

At FUNDACJA WIRTUALIZACJI NARODOWEGO DZIEDZICTWA KULTUROWEGO, we combine modern technology with cultural responsibility to protect, preserve, and promote the richness of our national heritage.
Our mission is to digitize, safeguard, and make accessible the treasures of history, art, and culture so that they can be experienced by present and future generations.

We believe that every artifact, document, building, and work of art tells a story — and through digital technology, these stories can live forever.

Our Main Areas of Work

1. Digitization of Cultural Heritage

We use advanced technologies such as 3D scanning, high-resolution photography, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR) to create precise digital replicas of:

• Historical monuments and architecture

• Works of art and museum collections

• Archival documents, manuscripts, and photographs

• Archaeological sites and cultural landmarks

2. Preservation & Protection

Digitization is not only about accessibility, but also about protection. Our work ensures that fragile or endangered cultural assets are safeguarded against:

• Natural aging and environmental damage

• Human-caused destruction or neglect

• Loss due to disasters such as fire, flood, or conflict

3. Virtual Exhibitions & Online Access

We believe culture should be accessible to everyone, everywhere. That’s why we create:

• Virtual museums and galleries available online 24/7

• Interactive 3D tours of historical monuments

• Digital archives of art, literature, and heritage documents

• Educational platforms that make learning about history engaging and modern

4. Research & Education

Our foundation supports cultural education and scientific research through:

• Collaboration with universities, researchers, and cultural institutions

• Developing educational programs and workshops for students and the public

• Publishing digital catalogs and online resources

• Promoting awareness about cultural heritage in the digital age

5. Collaboration & International Projects

Cultural heritage goes beyond borders. We work with:
