Ukrainian Museum, Ethnographic and art museum in Manhattan, United States
The Ukrainian Museum is an art museum in Manhattan that specializes in Ukrainian cultural materials displayed across three floors of exhibition space. The collection holds Ukrainian folk art, fine art, and historical objects that span the development of the culture.
The Ukrainian National Women's League of America founded this institution in 1976 to preserve Ukrainian heritage in New York City. Since then it has served as a center for documenting and protecting these cultural materials from being forgotten.
The museum displays traditional textiles, religious objects, and contemporary artworks that document how Ukrainian identity has been expressed across generations. Visitors can see how artistic practices and material culture have shifted over time.
The museum shop is open Wednesday through Sunday and sells traditional items such as pysanky dyes, greeting cards, books, and Ukrainian-themed crafts. Plan for sufficient time to explore each of the three floors at a comfortable pace.
The collection holds over 1000 examples of ceremonial textiles and Ukrainian Easter eggs decorated using traditional wax-resist techniques. These elaborate pieces demonstrate craftsmanship passed down across centuries.
