Museum of the Ukrainian Diaspora
The museum was established in 1999 in a restored building dating back to the late 18th century on Knyaziv Ostrozkykh Street in Pechersk. Its exposition is dedicated to the history and heritage of our countrymen who lived outside Ukraine, starting with the first Ukrainian immigrants in the late nineteenth century. The museum has temporary thematic projects and a permanent exhibition, updated in 2021. Today, the collection includes about 10 thousand items. Much of the material was donated by archival institutions and private collectors from Canada, the United States, and Australia. Here you can learn about: foreign communities that fought for the restoration of Ukrainian statehood, such as the Ukrainian National Association in Canada, the World Congress of Ukrainians, Plast, etc; prominent personalities, such as Pavlo and Danylo Skoropadsky, Mykola Plavyuk, Markiyan Paslavsky, etc; artists and scientists: David Burliuk, the Krychevsky dynasty, Serge Lifar, Oleksandr Koshyts, and others. The museum also hosts Ukraine's only large-scale historical and memorial exhibition project, Our Sikorsky, which features copies of his first and subsequent helicopter and airplane models, including the BIS-2. It was in this helicopter that Ihor Sikorsky first took to the Kyiv sky.
