Ukrainian Museum of Canada

September is Ukrainian Heritage Month 🇺🇦

While Ukrainian cultural heritage continues to be threatened in Ukraine, we’re reminded of how the diaspora helps safeguard Ukrainian identity. Since 1944, the Ukrainian Museum of Canada, Ontario Branch has brought Ukrainian culture and stories to life for Canadians, connecting generations and communities through engaging exhibitions and shared heritage, all in the heart of downtown Toronto.

Cultural understanding begins with learning. Today, the importance of preserving Ukrainian culture resonates more deeply than ever. Museums are living classrooms — preserving memory, inspiring empathy, and inviting everyone to engage with the story. At our Museum, each exhibition, program, and artifact opens a window into the lived experience of Ukrainians across centuries, showing how traditions endure and communities thrive.

This September, experience and support Ukrainian cultural heritage in Toronto:

  • Visit us in person at 620 Spadina Avenue inside St. Volodymyr Institute. We will have special hours on Sunday September 7 for Ukrainian Heritage Day

  • Support our mission to preserve and share Ukrainian heritage with a donation

  • Meet us at the Toronto Ukrainian Festival in the SVI tent, September 12–14

  • Join us for the opening of our new exhibition Kosiv Bazaar • A Living Archive of the Carpathians on Friday, September 5, and experience the spirit and artistry of this unique ethnographic region of Ukraine

As we mark Ukrainian Heritage Month across Canada, we celebrate the creativity, resilience, and lasting contributions of Ukrainian Canadians — and continue preserving their heritage for generations to come. 🇺🇦 🇨🇦

 

Kosiv Bazaar.
A living archive of the Carpathians

September 5, 2025 – March 2026

There is a place in the west of Ukraine, in the Carpathian Mountains, where magic happens. Known as the Kosiv Bazaar, it is here that the imagination is sparked, creativity flows and the world meets.

Kosiv Bazaar • A Living Archive of the Carpathians is an exhibition drawn from the collection of Leonard Krawchuk, inspired by the unique phenomenon of the Hutsul bazaar in Kosiv. A place where – for centuries – craft, community, and the beauty of everyday life have intersected. The Kosiv Bazaar is more than just a market – it is living memory, cultural force, and a space of gathering.

We invite you to experience an exhibition where trade becomes culture, and the bazaar becomes a living metaphor for community.

Be the first to experience Kosiv Bazaar!
Join us on Friday, September 5th at 7:00pm for an opening reception,
Curator’s Tour, and a festive atmosphere.
620 Spadina Avenue, Toronto • Inside St.Volodymyr Institute
Tickets: $20 in advance | $25 at the door | Youth 18 & under: Free
