Ukraine offers many fascinating museums and art galleries to visit. Ukraine has a strong artistic and cultural heritage which supports many galleries throughout the country. The Podol Fortuna Gallery is known for its social realism art while the Aquarel Gallery and Gallery 36 tend to feature many young, local Ukrainian artists. The Center for Contemporary Art located in Podil, Kyiv is a branch of the internationally known Soros Center for Contemporary Art and serves as a showcase for aspiring artists. Museums are numerous and equally impressive as Ukrainian society is rooted in a strong national culture that pays homage to its heritage through exhibitions at museums and sites of historical interest. Museums such as the Lviv Glass Museum, the National Art Museum and the Solomiya Krushelnytska Musical Museum are just a few of what we feature under our section on museums.
