Ukrainian National Museum

"Located in the Ukrainian Village, the Ukrainian National Museum of Chicago is a hidden gem that beautifully preserves and shares the rich heritage of Ukrainian culture and immigration. Founded in 1952, the museum showcases an impressive collection of embroidered garments, folk art, fine art, antique musical instruments, and archival materials that bring to life the traditions and history of Ukraine and the immigrant experience in America. The exhibits offer a heartfelt glimpse into the lives of those who carried their culture across the ocean, making it a meaningful and educational destination for visitors of all backgrounds—a must-see for anyone interested in cultural history, craftsmanship, and the Ukrainian immigrant story in Chicago."

"We had a wonderful time learning more about the history of Ukraine and the story of Ukrainian Americans in Chicago. Highly recommend! Slava Ukraini."

"Very nice time, Vyachyslav was a stellar tour guide and explained the history of Ukraine in a very engaging manner!"

"An absolute gem. The exhibits were extensive, informative, and beautiful. We went on a Sunday and the staff welcomed us and gave us an in depth tour with plenty of personal experience. He even tailored the experience to our particular heritage making it very enjoyable!"

"Came here 40 minutes before closing on a Friday and had the best museum experience of my life. The docent, Viacheslav, took it upon himself to give me a personalized tour (during which he confidently switched back and forth between Ukrainian and English!) once he found out I study Ukrainian at my university. Amazing museum, amazing collections, incredibly kind-hearted staff. A hidden gem within Chicago."
