(Photo collage: Intent)

The Odesa Archaeological Museum has recently received equipment to create virtual models of valuable exhibits from the museum's collection and has begun creating 3D models of 60 exhibits.

So how does the war affect the preservation of museum collections? Why is 3D modeling becoming an important tool for Ukrainian museums? What unique artifacts of the Odesa Archaeological Museum have already been digitally enhanced?

These and other questions will be answered in the new issue of "Intent. Insight" will be answered by Oksana Hrytsiuta, a researcher at the Odesa Archaeological Museum. Her interlocutor will traditionally be the editor-in-chief of Intent Valerii Bolhan.

Every week, Intent looks at one issue that worries Ukrainians and raises topical questions and tries to solve specific problems.

The previous episode was devoted to the problem of parking in the city and the increase in the cost of an hour of parking.

The previous one was dedicated to the suspension of funding for all USAID programs in Ukraine for 90 days after the State Department ordered an audit of all international aid.

Before that, the ether was devoted to answering questions about mobilization. Valeriy Bolgan discussed these issues with Tetiana Choroba, head of the regional recruiting group "South" of the 4th recruiting center of the Territorial Defense Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The last interview in 2024 was devoted to a conversation about possible elections in Ukraine in 2025. Valeriy Bolgan's interlocutor then was Anatoliy Boyko, head of the Odesa regional organization of the Committee of Voters of Ukraine.

The previous episode was devoted to the problems of beaches, how they work during the war, and why the city authorities neglect the opportunity to earn money for the budget by not establishing transparent rules for doing business on the coast. The guest of the studio was the founder of the Inclusive Beach in Odesa, Yuriy Degas.

The show was preceded by a TV show dedicated to the problem of garbage and a film by the Center for Public Investigations, "No Smell of Own: How Odesa Authorities Ignore the Problem with Garbage," in which journalists found out how the situation with garbage disposal in Odesa is currently going, and the condition of the Dalnytsky Quarries landfill where garbage from Odesa is taken.

On December 3, the live broadcast was devoted to the rise in the cost of public transportation in the city. Valeriy Bolgan , editor-in-chief of Intent, discussed this issue on Intent.Insight with Dmytro Zheman, former head of Odesmiskelektrotrans and former deputy mayor.
