THE UKRAINIAN MUSEUM: A CULTURAL EXPERIENCE. TRAVELING EXHIBITIONS Виставка народнього мистецтва в Музеї в Мілкові, Віск. Колекція Україн ського Музею. Exhibit of Ukrainian Folk Art in Milwau kee, Wl. Exhibit of the Ukrainian Museum in NY. The goal and purpose of the Ukrainian Museum is to preserve objects of historical or artistic merit which represent the heritage of the Ukrainian people, to research these objects, interpreting their significance and value through scholarly research and to exhibit these objects to the public. Since its founding in 1976, the Museum’s inventory has grown impressively in its three main categories — ethnographic, archival/photo graphic and fine arts. The core of the Museum’s Ukrain ian folk art collection currently boasts of more than 4000 items. Its photographic collection numbers over 10,000 items and the fine arts over 1000 paintings, sculptures, lithographs and etchings. Many major exhibitions were mounted at the Ukra inian Museum in the last 12 years dealing in particular areas of Ukrainian folk art, history, architecture and fine arts. Most of the exhibits were composed of items from the Museum’s inventory, others were loaned for this purpose from other institutions or from private sources. Each new exhibit at the Museum has been accompanied by a bilingual catalogue. The publication of such cata logues is the result of scholarly research to identify, authenticate and describe every exponent on display within the framework of Ukrainian historical and cultu ral development. Several catalogues published by the Museum are being used by learning institutions as ref erence material. In 1981 the Museum launched a new phase of activ ity — the traveling exhibits. Its first such venture was an exhibit of kilims, mounted at the Balch Institute of Eth nic Studies in Philadelphia, PA. An exhibit of Ukrainian folk art, featuring a rich representation of folk costumes, kilims, rushnyky, ceramics, woodcarvings, metal work and pysanky opened to rave reviews at the New Jersey State Museum in Trenton in 1984 and at the Monmouth Museum in Lincroft, NJ in 1985. Currently, the Ukrain ian Folk Art exhibit is on display at the Milwaukee Pub lic Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as part of the Ukrainian Millennium celebration of the Ukrainian com munity in that state. The photographic exhibition “To Preserve a Herit age: The Story of the Ukrainian Immigration in the Uni ted States” was organized in 1984. This exhibit visited Philadelphia, PA in 1987 as part of the Ukrainian Museum Week, organized by UNWLA’s Branch #67. The exhibit also was shown in Harrisburg, PA, in Wilkes Barre, PA, and in Bethlehem, PA. As part of the Millennium cele bration, the exhibit will also be mounted in Johnson City, NY, and at the Stamford Diocesan Museum/Li brary in Stamford, CT. In the spring of 1987 The Ukrainian Museum organ ized and mounted an exhibition of paintings of the Can adian Ukrainian artist William Kurelek. Titled “The World of William Kurelek” , the exhibit consisted of thirty two paintings on loan from private collections as well as from museums and galleries — Museum of Modern Art in New York City, The Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa, Ont., the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році .
