The Museum also often sponsors exhibits of art work by various artists from Ukraine and the diaspora. Modern posters, taking old famous sites in Ukraine with modern themes implanted on the image have been dis played. For example, the “Welcome to Kyyiv” poster with the Cathedral of St. Sophia and a nuclear symbol in the background. The files grow larger with each year. Those serious about doing research on Ukrainian publications would find a day too little time to do any preliminary note- taking. However, those merely interested in re-acquain ting themselves with Ukrainian culture, will find a short tour of the museum truly fascinating. The museum depends on donations and volunteers. If you would like to visit the Ukrainian Museum-Archives, call ahead for their hours: (216) 781-4329.
