The Museum's current exhibit explores Ukrainian Traditions in celebrating Christ's Nativity. The exhibit features a variety of crèches from the traditional to the avant-garde. A reproduction of a two level Nativity puppet theatre, and puppets (vertap) has been constructed. It serves to illustrate a centuries old tradition of animating the Nativity Story.

Icons and art from local churches are included as well as original art depicting Christ's birth and Christmas Eve Traditions.

A tableau representing the Holy Supper shared on Christmas Eve has been recreated. A description of many of the traditions shared by Ukrainian families through the ages is included.
