Pysanka Museum

One of Ukraine's unique museums is the Pysanka Museum, which houses more than 12000 pysankas collected from many regions of Ukraine and even from countries around the world. The museum was built to a design by architect I. Shuman and opened in 2000. Since then, it has become the main decoration of Chornovola Avenue and the city's calling card.

Since one of the museum's traditions was to have well-known political figures paint pysankas, there is now an entire collection of pysankas bearing their signatures. In addition to tours, the museum regularly hosts folk art and pysanka-painting master classes.

Interesting facts:

• A giant egg has been installed near the museum entrance. It is 13.5 m high and 10 m in diameter.
• The first pysanka museum was opened in 1987, in the building of the Church of the Annunciation of the Most Pure Virgin Mary.

The Kolomyia Pysanka Monument is the largest pysanka in the world.
