Art Museum

The Art Museum in Cherkasy was opened only in 1991. Yet over the years of its existence, it has become a center of cultural life for the people of Cherkasy, showcasing visitors the best works by Ukrainian and foreign artists. The art museum has collected about 6000 exhibits, including works by such well-known artists as Makar Mukha, Tamara Hordovokh, and the Humeniuk sisters. The museum also features pottery works, examples of porcelain and faience art from different parts of Ukraine, and works by decorative and applied arts masters.

Of note is the museum’s collection, which includes works by icon painters of the Ukrainian and Russian schools, and folk icon painting, which cannot fail to impress with their quality and uniqueness. Admirers of “old painting” can see works by masters of the Italian school in the museum: Rogan Marteliianis and Giusepe Dzais. Each work is a unique work of art worth seeing in person to form an impression of how artistic activity developed in Ukraine and how unique and valuable it is.

Exhibitions and conferences, master classes and workshops are held regularly at the Cherkasy Art Museum. So when traveling to Cherkasy, there is a strong chance of taking part in one of these events.
