New Exhibit - Destroyed Temples of Ukraine


On Sunday, February 23, 2025 Musée Ukraina Museum hosted the opening of the photo exhibition "...And They Will Rise in Glory and Power: Destroyed Temples of Ukraine."

This exhibit, presented in partnership with Kyiv's Maidan Museum, features documentation of the damage and destruction to churches, synagogues and mosques perpetrated by the russian federation since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The display is a powerful testament to both the brutality of war and the resilience of faith communities. Visitors are offered a poignant look at the destruction of Ukraine's sacred architecture and cultural heritage.

MUM President, Anna Mycyk, spoke on the signifiance of the exhibit and importance of continued support to preserve our culture and identity. Traditional music added to the atmosphere of the afternoon.
