• Olympic medals of Ukrainian athletes, won in various years;

• Elina Svitolina’s WTA Finals 2018 trophy.

The changes will affect the following installations and photo zones:

• The most popular Ukraine WOW photo zones — the Tunnel of Love and the pond with water lilies — will “freeze”;

• In the “Artists” zone, winter landscapes by Viktor Zaretsky will come to life with the help of neural networks;

• Miniature versions of the halls of the National Art Museum of Ukraine, the Odesa National Academic Opera and Ballet Theater, and the National Museum of Literature of Ukraine will also appear, allowing visitors to peek inside;

• In the “Music” zone, visitors wearing VR glasses will be able to appear on the stage of the National Philharmonic of Ukraine and listen to the “Shchedryk” by Leontovych performed by the Homin Choir.

The interactive exhibition tribute Ukraine WOW was created by the public organization Ukraine WOW and the agency Gres Todorchuk in cooperation with JSC Ukrzaliznytsia. The expert group included business school lecturer Valeriy Pekar, philosopher Anton Drobovych, historian Oleksiy Sokyrko, and curator Kseniya Malykh. A team of over 300 people worked on the project. Key project partners included the Aurora network, ROZETKA, and Visa, with additional partners InterChem and Bolt. The partner for the winter season is UPG.

As reported, in its first month, Ukraine WOW attracted 80,000 visitors.
