National Museum of Hutsulshchyna and Pokuttya Folk Art

The National Museum contains over 50,000 objects illustrating the folk traditions of Hutsulshchyna and Pokuttya regions through textiles, ceramics, and woodwork collections.

Founded in 1926 and opened in 1934, the museum occupies the former People's House building, succeeding earlier collection efforts by Edmund Starzeński from 1892.

The museum maintains collections of traditional Hutsul crafts, including decorated stove tiles, musical instruments, carved wooden tools, furniture, and regional folk costumes.

Located at Theatre Street 25 in Kolomyia, the museum operates three branches: the main facility, the Museum of Pysanka, and the Kosiv Museum of Folk Art.

The Museum of Pysanka branch contains more than 12,000 decorated Easter eggs collected from different regions, representing this Ukrainian cultural tradition.
