International Museum Day! 🌎 May 18

Did you know that International Museum Day (IMD) has been a global celebration since 1977? It's a fantastic opportunity for museums worldwide to come together and celebrate our rich cultural heritage.

As they say, "Museums are an important means of cultural exchange, enrichment of cultures and development of mutual understanding, cooperation and peace among peoples." We couldn’t agree more!

This year, the theme for IMD is Museums for Education and Research, shining a spotlight on the invaluable role museums play in providing engaging cultural and educational experiences. We encourage you to explore our past exhibitions and learning section on our website to delve deeper into Ukrainian culture and history.

 

80 years young! 🎂

2024 marks a significant milestone for us as we celebrate our 80th Anniversary! For eight decades, we have remained steadfast in our commitment to preserving, promoting, and sharing our Ukrainian cultural heritage with Canadians and visitors from all around the world.

Join us as we commemorate this milestone, reflecting on our journey and looking ahead to the future.
