Ukrainian Museum in New York
If you’re interested in Ukrainian culture and art, the Ukrainian Museum in New York can offer some of both. Paintings, sculpture – including works by Alexander Archipenko, and cultural artifacts make up the museum’s collection. Textiles on display include Ukrainian folk costumes and ryshniki. Decorated eggs, or pysanky, are exhibited to illustrate how regional preferences dictated the designs and colors used for this form of Ukrainian folk duplicity. The museum’session gift shop sells souvenirs embroidered with traditional designs, books, and pysanky-making kits. Information about the museum’s upcoming exhibits can be found at the museum website: UkrainianMuseum.org.
