PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The "Museum of the Formation of the Ukrainian Nation" is the first innovative museum of Ukrainian history, founded in Ukraine. This museum is where the past is combined with modern technologies, and is the inspiration for our project to be built here in New York City, The American-Ukrainian Cultural Center.

As a museum, all expositions are made on the basis of historical research and have a scientific justification. A large team of scientists and experts have worked on its creation, including historians, archaeologists, ethnographers, sculptors, and designers.

The American-Ukrainian Cultural Center will be located on 4 floors with a total area of 16,000 square feet. It is intended to be a center of the future, a place that every tourist must visit.

Through the curated display of glorious moments of Ukrainian history, our mission is to promote the spirit of patriotism in Ukrainians who are proud of their country, unite them around the idea of the revival of the nation, and to contribute to the creation of a positive image of Ukraine in the world.

The goal of The American-Ukrainian Cultural Center is to show mutual historical, cultural, economic and political influences interconnecting the United States and Ukraine. It will allow the visitor to get familiar with the early migration of Ukrainians to the United States, their adaptation, and their achievements. It will tell the story of early American influence on Ukraine from a historical perspective.This exhibit will explain a gap in relations while Ukraine was a part of the Soviet Union, but the major focus on American-Ukrainian connections, exchanges, and cooperation after the demise of the Soviet Union in the very end of 1991.

All exhibits of the museum are unique in their kind and are exact copies of real historical figures

The unique similarity of the exhibits with their real prototypes

UNIQUENESS OF THE MUSEUM:

"The history of our country has been reworked many times, but now we can objectively reproduce the real history of Ukraine and its role in the formation of the European community, as well as show vivid historical events and figures that our people can be proud of. Ukrainian stories and traditions are often told through legends, folklore, generational tales, and historical publications. However, a lot has been lost, destroyed, and forgotten... It is probably time to create a national idea around which we can unite all Ukrainians in the world” - Valery Galan.

The Formation of Ukrainian Nation Museum contains unique separate stands for children, where information is adapted, intriguing, and easy to read and internalize.

Each installation is accompanied by interactive audio and video content combined with special effects, which immerses the viewer into the atmosphere of the respective era.

Multimodal presentations include: dioramas, multimedia stands, screens, maps, holograms, and touchscreens. Media guides are offered in 8 languages.

The museum features a recreation area, gift shop, and photo areas.
