From The 17th Century To Web3: How MetaRembrandt Is Onboarding The Dutch Master
A metaverse museum with every single one of Rembrandt’s paintings is in the very near, crowdfunded future. Launched by the Rembrandt Heritage Foundation in partnership with Hodl Finance, MetaRembrandt will offer a fractionalized sale of a digital restoration of “The Night Watch,” the Dutch painter’s iconic 1642 work. Proceeds from the sale will go towards funding the creation of a metaverse museum to house 306 Rembrandt paintings, which will be exclusively accessible to NFT holders.

Decoded: Museums In The Metaverse

But, in between a pandemic and the rise of the NFT, metaverse-native museums have come to the fore.
MetaRembrandt Aims To Bring Rembrandt Onto The Blockchain And Into The Metaverse

His dress is a strange synthesis of elements from different Indigenous communities — Lakota featherwork, Diné (Navajo) jewelry, and a loincloth and moccasins from unnamed groups, but makes no acknowledgement to the Massachusett, the original peoples on the land where this sculpture stands.
