supported by the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Science and

Profile
The Centre of Informatization in the Sphere of Culture of the Ministry
of Culture of Russia (Centre PIC) was organised in 1992 from personnel
of the computer centre of the Ministry of Culture of the USSR, after the
USSR was divided into independent states, to investigate new information
technologies and to apply them in museums.
Centre PIC is a state research and design body subordinate to the
Ministry of Culture of Russia and works under contract with the Ministry
of Culture of Russia, with the Ministry of Science and Technological
Policy of Russia and with Russian museums and other cultural
institutions. In 1995 the Ministry of Culture of Russia organised the
Centre of Multimedia Technologies (as a subsidiary of Centre PIC) to
co-ordinate the efforts of different bodies connected with multimedia
publishing and distribution in culture and art. The Centre’s services
include evaluation of proposed projects and works-in-process. In
addition, the Centre prepares drafts for laws in the area of rights and
ownership of cultural properties.
The Centre develops and installs archiving and retrieval systems,
including images, in museums.The Centre also creates and produces
multimedia CD-ROMs in the areas of culture and art. The latest
multimedia CD-ROM projects of Centre PIC are "West European Drawing of
XIV - XIX centuries. Kunsthalle Collection in Bremen" (in Russian and
German) and an encyclopaedia of the works of 500 international masters
in the fields of painting, architecture and other fine arts (in
Russian).
