Our museum's collection includes numerous audio- photo- and video-materials which are very valuable for history and the archive. Among these materials there are audio records, photographs, and authentic film material from different times. Some of the materials are digitalized which allows us to organize virtual exhibitions and excursion tours for group and individual visitors.








Audio-materials
  • Audio-excursion through the museum which is recorded in five languages (Ukrainian, Russian, English, German, and Hebrew) with separate headsets for groups and individual visitors.
    The audio-excursion covers the whole exhibition of the museum. The structure of the audio-excursion is based on the museum's display boards. Photo and video collections and an interactive map are used as well as additional visual material.

    Documentary film (directed by Yuliya Solntseva), produced in 1940 as propaganda accompanying the annexation of Northern Bukovina by the Soviet Union.
    Although it is an extremely shameless piece of agitation, it still has significant value: we can see unique views of Chernivtsi and Bukovina, including the synagogue "Temple" that at that time was not yet destroyed and appears for a few seconds in the film.
