Porcelain Iconostasis | Virtual Museum Tour
The Nykanor Onatskyi Regional Art Museum in Sumy. Putyvl Local Lore Museum. Kharkiv Art Museum. Three different institutions in two neighboring oblasts. They differ in status, scale and focus. But all of them are united by one important detail. The expositions of these museums house a fascinating man-made miracle created back in the 19th century.

Burial Places of Goths. Part 2 | Virtual Museum Tour
The person who initiated the creation of the Sumy Regional Museum of Local Lore was an artist, art critic, poet and civil activist Nykanor Onatskyi. But it emerged as a museum of art and history. Only at the end of the second decade of this establishment’s operation were the archaeological, ethnographic and natural materials assembled into a full-fledged museum of local lore. But it still remained in the old building of the city bank. There just wasn’t enough space.

My special present to Zara2255 - the painting of Vasyl Krychevsky The village in Azerbaijan' (the fourth from the end)
Thanks to Vasyl Krychevsky, a Ukrainian painter, architect, art scholar, graphic artist, and master of applied art and decorative art. He was the brother of Ukrainian painter Fedir Krychevsky.
Vasyl Hryhorovych Krychevsky (Ukrainian: Василь Григорович Кричевський; January 12, 1873 in Vorozhba, Kharkov Governorate - November 15, 1952 in Caracas, Venezuela)
Vasyl Krychevsky was born in the village of Vorozhba, near Lebedyn,now Sumy Region, to the family of a Jewish country doctor who converted to Orthodox Christianity and married a Ukrainian woman.
Krychevsky had little formal education, but a deep interest in Ukrainian folklore and art history. During the First World War, he was one of the founders and rectors of the Ukrainian State Academy of Arts. In the 1920s he taught at the Kiev Institute of Plastic Arts, the Kiev Architectural Institute, and the Odessa Art School. He then served in the architectural department of the Kiev State Art Institute until 1941.
Krychevsky moved to Lviv in 1943 where he was appointed a rector of a new Ukrainian art school, the Higher Art Studio. After the World War Two, he lived briefly in Paris ( in his son Mykola's, who was an artist too) before immigrating to South America in 1947 where his daughter's husband went to work.He died in Caracas, the capital of Venezuela on November 15, 1952.
Krychevsky first gained public recognition in 1903 when he won the architectural competition to build the Poltava Zemstvo Building (now the Poltava Regional Studies Museum). His design of the building was based on the traditions of Ukrainian folk architecture.
As a painter, he created a total of about 300 paintings.His work was influenced by French impressionism.
It was at the request of President Mykhailo Hrushevsky that Krychevsky designed the state emblems and seals of the Ukrainian People's Republic as well as the Republic's bank notes. Krychevsky was a collector and student of Ukrainian folk art, and promoted such handicrafts among common people.
From 1907 to 1910, Krychevsky designed sets and costumes for over 15 plays and operas including Mykhailo Starytsky's Bohdan Khmelnytsky and Bedřich Smetana's The Bartered Bride. From 1917--18 he worked with the Ukrainian National Theater.
In 1913-1915 he worked as artistic director of weaving works of carpets near Kyiv (Olenivka), where he made some carpet sketches for philanthropist millionaire Khanenko Bohdan on the theme of Ukrainian folk art.
