Eylon Levy, a former Israeli government spokesman, is promoting the English-language version of the Israel Broadcast Corporation’s (KAN) virtual October 7th museum.

The 7.10.360 Virtual Museum, through maps, photos and timelines, tells the story of October 7th and includes the fate of individuals as well as entire communities.

The digital 7.10.360 Virtual Museum was launched in Hebrew and is now being released in English to reach international audiences.

The museum’s information and media are derived from articles, footage, interviews, and reports by individuals and media outlets.

Some materials, such as footage from security cameras or WhatsApp messages, have not been previously released.

You can visit the digital museum online at this link: https://www.710360.kan.org.il/en/

Visitors can select specific communities on the map and experience a timeline of events. They can also read testimonies and archives of what happened to individuals and the community at large.

Locations include kibbutzim, border communities, IDF bases, and the location of the Nova Music Festival.

“The virtual museum is a powerful tool to tell the story of that tragic day,” Levy said. “It not only commemorates the lives lost but also showcases the resilience and bravery that emerged in the aftermath.”

To further extend the project’s reach, the museum will be translated into other languages besides English, including Arabic, Spanish, and Russian.

It will also be displayed at Israel’s National Library in Jerusalem for the entire month of October.

The virtual museum project was developed by KAN Digital in collaboration with the Israeli tech company Appsflyer and managed technically by the Diskin company.

KAN reported it is adding new stories to the archive daily to ensure that the project continues to evolve and to create a comprehensive memorial to the victims and survivors of the October 7th massacre.
