The digital collection will include items from the funds of the Mykolaiv Regional Art Museum named after Vereshchagin and the Mykolaiv Regional Museum of Local History.
According to the MY ART Platform, the collection features 20th-century paintings by famous Ukrainian artists such as Oleksandr Murashko, Ilya Repin, Zinaida Serebriakova, Anatol Petrytsky, Tetiana Yablonska, Alla Horska, Ivan Trush, Mykola Hlushchenko, as well as representatives of the Southern Ukraine art school.
“Our museums preserve the remarkable history of 20th-century Ukrainian art. From the bold ideas of the avant-garde, through the experiments of the Soviet era, to the vibrant ‘new wave’ of postmodernism. Each period is full of exploration and discovery. Together they create our shared cultural memory. This is exactly what we want to showcase by revealing two unique Mykolaiv collections within the broader context of Ukrainian art from the early 1900s to the late 1990s,” said Evgen Gomonjuk, project manager.
The project to digitize the museum collection is being implemented by the MY ART Platform in collaboration with the Mykolaiv Development Agency, with support from the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation.
