Czech group launches Gulag Online virtual museum

Thursday sees the launch of the Gulag Online virtual museum created by the Czech association Gulag.cz. The group mapped abandoned Gulag camps in remote parts of Siberia on three expeditions and used the material gathered to create the internet museum, which includes a tour of a 3D Gulag camp, panoramic photographs and the testimonies of Czechoslovak survivors of the Soviets’ system of labour camps.
