Vilnius has put up a statue that offers a “portal” to the Polish city of Lublin, allowing people to see each other in real-time.

The portal resembles a virtual circular door and has a large screen and cameras, according to a press release by GoVilnius, the development agency of the Lithuanian capital.

Installed on May 26 in front of the Vilnius train station, the idea has been five years in the making. According to its creators, the project entitled PORTAL is supposed to serve as a visual bridge to bring different people together.

“Humanity is facing many potentially deadly challenges; be it social polarisation, climate change or economic issues,” Benediktas Gylys, initiator of PORTAL, said in the press release.
