NYC (P) - Private Tour of the Ukrainian Museum (11:30 am ET)

Wednesday, August 10, 2022, 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM EDT

Join Explore NYC for a private tour of the Ukrainian Museum, the largest museum in the U.S. focused on the rich cultural heritage of Ukrainians. Its collection includes exceptional fine art and photography, an array of folk art, and archival materials. Our tour will include:

IN Bloom: Nature and Art,

which explores the floral motif in Ukrainian paintings, as well as costumes, ceramics and textiles, such as kilims, and embroidered clothing. The sunflower - a symbol of Ukraine and now a symbol of peace and resistance to Russia’s invaders - is featured in several oil paintings.

In Defense of Truth and Freedom,

work by Maks Levin, a courageous photojournalist who documented the war from the frontline since 2014 and was tragically killed recently.

War of the Mushrooms, illustrations of a classic slavic folktale by Nikita Kravtsov with a contemporary twist inspired by the current Russo-Ukraine war.

Pysanka, Ukrainian Easter eggs decorated with complex traditional and contemporary designs.

After our tour attendees can join fellow TTNers for (pay-your-own) lunch outdoors at a nearby restaurant.

PLEASE NOTE:
Masks are required inside the museum. You will be asked to confirm that you have been fully vaccinated against covid when you register on the TTN website.
