In the renovated exhibition hall of the Museum and Exhibition Center of the Museum of the History of Kyiv City, an exhibition of prominent artists Tetiana Yablonska and Mykola Hlushchenko is opening. The works of these artists have left a significant mark in our culture.
Visitors will be presented with over 20 artistic works by the artists, creating a symbolic dialogue among the classics of Ukrainian painting. This exhibition serves as a kind of color encyclopedia, as Tetiana Yablonska and Mykola Hlushchenko were brilliant colorists.

"In today's time, when Ukraine is at war, and Russia shamefully wants to take not only our territories but also appropriates the works of many artists from the past century, it is crucial for us as cultural institutions to speak up and showcase our Ukrainian artists and their creative heritage. We take pride in having the works of the genius Tetiana Yablonska and Mykola Ghlushchenko in the collection of the Museum of the History of Kyiv City, and we have the opportunity to introduce Ukrainians to their art," says Diana Popova, the General Director of the museum.
In addition to the paintings of the two authors, the exhibition will also feature personal belongings of Tetiana Yablonska, including her working glasses, palette, and brushes.
