A digital museum archiving the history of virtual worlds.
The Virtual Worlds Museum's vision is to enrich knowledge, ignite interest, and provide information to those who seek to learn more about immersive worlds. This is accomplished by preserving the history of virtual worlds, clarifying terminologies through interactive Exhibits, and creating programs about immersive ecosystems.
As a proponent of upstanding XR practices, the digital museum also promotes ethical technological innovation and community building.

A VR Women's History Museum and Cultural Center founded by author Helen Erwin
The Foremothers Café is a Women's History Museum and Cultural Center in Virtual Reality, set in Lund, Sweden, in 1918. Inspired by the courageous women of early 20th-century Sweden and the world, the space honors their legacy of resilience, empowerment, and mutual support, while fostering a modern gathering place for creativity, dialogue, and connection.
They are a global community excited by the fact that in the Metaverse there are no borders, and they love bringing people together to celebrate culture, history, and community through art, cultural events, and engaging conversations.
