Image of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. The memorial is a large, neoclassical structure resembling a Greek temple. Inside, a massive seated statue of Abraham Lincoln gazes forward, with his hands resting on the arms of a large chair.

Community-made Tapestries are created by local stakeholders and community members who receive training from CyArk to capture 3D data, record interviews, and design and develop the narrative of the virtual experience. These collaborative projects empower communities to share their unique stories and histories with a global audience.
