Museum Drohobychchyna, Regional history museum in Drohobych, Ukraine.
Museum Drohobychchyna displays archaeological finds, traditional craft tools, and everyday objects spanning different periods of regional history. The exhibition provides a comprehensive view of material culture and local life from ancient times through modern eras.
The museum was founded in 1940 and suffered significant losses during World War II. After Drohobych's liberation in autumn 1944, operations resumed and the collections were gradually rebuilt.
The collections feature majolica from the 17th to 19th centuries and medieval icon paintings from the region. These pieces reveal how artistic and religious traditions shaped the daily lives of people who lived here.
The museum is located on Taras Shevchenko Street and opens Tuesday through Sunday. Guided tours are available in multiple languages, so it is worth checking current hours before your visit.
The museum preserves materials related to Yuriy Kotermack, an early printer and author of Ukraine's first printed publication. His work demonstrates the region's early role in the spread of printing technology across Eastern Europe.
