The purpose of the article is to consider the legal and organizational aspects of digitization of the electronic culture and outline the main problems of its achievement. The research methodology is based on the general scientific and special research methods: analysis, synthesis, generalization, systematization of materials, induction, and deduction. The scientific novelty of the study is as follows: this study is one of the first complex works about electronic culture, aimed at forming a single complex of knowledge in the chosen field. The analysis of the Ukrainian legal documents in the system of electronic culture was carried out. The peculiarities of achieving the directions defined in the regulatory documents and the problematic aspects that prevent the non-fulfilment of certain planned goals are investigated. The author substantiates the approaches to defining virtual museums. The impeding factors of digitalization and the protection of cultural heritage were identified. Conclusions. To date, the main problems and achievements in the use of advanced technologies in the field of culture, or rather, the preservation of cultural heritage, including in museums, have not been sufficiently studied. Taking into account modern realities, museums remain the main guarantors of the preservation of the historical and cultural heritage of the Ukrainian people. Museums continue to interact with visitors daily and respond to the needs of society. The latest technologies make it possible to view the works of famous artists in virtual museum environments, which ensure the accessibility of cultural heritage to the general public, especially limited mobility groups. Digital technologies make it possible to visually convey information to different audiences, allowing everyone to choose the content that best suits their interests. Digital technologies in museums help not only to store and record data about exhibits but also to communicate with visitors. Regular updating of the interactive content of the objects allows to establish a connection with the modern public for whom technology is important, transforming them from passive observers to active viewers
