Throughout the year, the institution was visited by 62,000 people, for whom 1,531 guided tours were conducted. Interest in the history, culture, and contemporary art of the region remains high among citizens.
The museum’s collection was enriched with 1,644 new items, and over 30 new exhibitions were created. One of the most significant exhibitions was the showcase of works by young Kharkiv artist Veronika Kozushko, who died as a result of a Russian shelling, as well as the project “Red Threads: The Figure of a Woman Amidst War” by artist Lena Polyukhovich.
In collaboration with the historical and cultural reserves of Dubno and Ostrog, an exhibition titled “Five-Candle Holders of the Ostroh Princes by Master Lukas Friedelant from 1575. To the 450th Anniversary of Its Creation” was organized. Additionally, on the occasion of the Day of the Baptism of Kyiv Rus-Ukraine and the Day of Ukrainian Statehood, the exhibition “Spiritual Shield of Ukraine” was presented.
The museum hosted exhibitions dedicated to both the modern defenders of Ukraine and the fighters of past generations. In particular, a photo exhibition titled “I Am Alive” by Kosti “Istanbul” Yuzvyuk — a fallen soldier of the 24th Separate Mechanized Brigade — took place, as well as an exhibition dedicated to the life and artistic legacy of Nila Kasevych, one of the most prominent Ukrainian graphic artists of the 20th century and an artist of the OUN-UPA.
Throughout the year, the museum also organized free events and special initiatives for military personnel, veterans, and internally displaced persons. The institution is actively continuing to digitize its exhibits: specialists have digitized 2,756 items, which amounts to approximately 15,000 photographs.
Furthermore, the painting by J. M. Krzhez “The Battle of Orsha” has returned from restoration, and the exhibition of portrait painting and sculpture by Tomasz Oskar Sosnowski has been restored.
