CULTURE AND SOCIETY

The Ukrainian Museum

Founded in 1976 by the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America, Inc. (UNWLA), the museum moved in 2005 to its new home designed by Ukrainian-born American architect George Sawicki.
The Museum has a collection that, through the exhibition of objects, documents, traditional costumes, photos and paintings, traces the history and culture of the Ukrainian people. Among the exhibits there is an important collection of “pysanky”, the traditional painted Easter eggs. There is also a photographic archive with over 30,000 photographs documenting the last hundred years of immigration from Ukraine to the United States.
