From August 22 to 24, we have a special reason to meet in Lutsk at the Korsaks Museum — we’re celebrating our birthday!

We have prepared a special programme featuring guided tours, workshops, a science show, “Cosmogony,” and a special event dedicated to the 75th anniversary of Mykola Kumanovskyi’s birth.

August 24 | 5:00 PM — Korsaks Museum’s Birthday and Independence Day of Ukraine

On this day, we will present an audio guide to the Mykola Kumanovskyi exhibition — another way to discover the world of one of Volyn’s most important artists.

Following the presentation, Lesia Korsak and Zoia Navrotska will lead a curatorial tour of the Mykola Kumanovskyi Memorial Art Museum. We will talk about the artist, his personality, his work and imagery, and the legacy he left to Ukrainian culture.

Admission to the events on August 24 is free!

We’re turning 8, and the best gift for the Museum is seeing you in its galleries.

Come with your friends, children, and families!

Korsaks’ Museum of Contemporary Ukrainian Art

Lutsk, 1 Ivana Korsaka St.

On August 15 at 4:00 PM, Korsaks’ Museum of Contemporary Ukrainian Art will host the lecture “From Idea to Event: Organizing and Implementing Long-Term Recurring Art Projects.”

The lecturer is Oleksandr Nykytiuk, artist, art manager, and Chairman of the Board of the NGO “Laboratory of Contemporary Art.”

Using the International Land Art Festival “MYTHOGENESIS” and the Nathan Altman All-Ukrainian Contemporary Art Competition for Young Artists as examples, we will explore how an artistic idea develops into a long-term project, evolves over time, and remains relevant.

Participation is included with the museum admission ticket.

The lecture will take place as part of the grant project Educational Barrier-Free Hub “Art for All” — a space for learning, professional development, creative exploration, and social interaction. The Hub combines lectures and practical sessions on contemporary Ukrainian art, art management, and the development of cultural projects.

The project is supported by Switzerland within the framework of the Swiss-Ukrainian UCORD project “Ukraine’s Cohesion and Regional Development,” implemented by NIRAS Sweden AB. The partner responsible for implementing the grant component of the programme is the National Development Institution.

The Korsaks’ Museum in Lutsk invites you to the finissage of Hamlet Zinkivskyi’s project “365. Time Is Not Needed”!

📆 July 26

Program:

⬜️ 3:00 PM — artist-led tour of the exhibition by Hamlet Zinkivskyi.
⬛️ 4:30 PM — screening of Anton Shtuka’s documentary “Caution! Life Goes On”, followed by a Q&A session with the director.

The film “Caution! Life Goes On” tells the story of the liberated city of Izium through the street art of Kharkiv-based artist Hamlet Zinkivskyi. The artist creates works on the streets of the city, which was heavily damaged during the Russian occupation, and speaks with local residents. He meets different people, observes their everyday lives and emotional states, and listens to their stories.

In 2024, the film was presented in the National Competition Program of the Odesa International Film Festival. It was also included among the eight Ukrainian films considered for submission to the 2026 Academy Awards.

🎟 Admission to the event is included with a museum ticket.
