Exhibits

(1) Ukrainian Kilims: Journey of a Heritage, an exhibition of selected kilims from The Ukrainian Museum's permanent collection includes some 40 prized examples of centuries-old weaving traditions, and attest to the arduous journey undertaken by Ukrainians escaping the ravages of war with their most cherished possessions. Dating from the late 18th century through the early 20th century, the selections reveal the wide array and richness of motifs and colors used in the weaving of Ukrainian kilims.

(2) A Singular Vision: Ilona Sochynsky, Retrospective of Painting is a comprehensive exhibition of more than 50 paintings, including many large-scale works from all phases of the artist's development, that presents an oeuvre of visual beauty, intelligence, intensity and complexity.

Participation in Museum Day is open to any tax-exempt or governmental museum or cultural venue on a voluntary basis.
