The Ukrainian world of Maria Prymachenko exhibition
The Historical and Local History Museum in Ivankiv, Kyiv oblast, burned down during the Russian invasion on 27 February 2022. Amongst other works, the collection of this small museum featured 25 works by Maria Prymachenko (1909–97) – an Ukrainian folk painter, representative of naïve art, who was involved in drawing, embroidery, and painting on ceramics. Some of the works were saved, however, thanks to the heroic conduct of the city’s inhabitants.
This exhibition took place in Warsaw in March 2022. The presented images replicate all 25 works from the collection of the local History Museum in Ivankiv. The organizers of the exhibition are the National Center for Culture and the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage in cooperation with the Presto portal.

It is really good that they are doing this. I read about the museum burning down and hit struck my heart. All those works, pictures, artifacts, just gone for a stupid reason. This exhibit shows we won’t be silent.
