For the fourth year in a row the Ukraine 3000 International Charitable Foundation and Ukrainian Center for Museum Development have been organizing the Museum Event of the Year all-Ukrainian action and Program to Support Museum Workers.

The Museum Event of the Year is a unique museum rating project unparalleled in Ukraine. Its major goal is to attract public attention to the most important events and trends in the Ukrainian museums sphere and stimulate the museums’ staff to give more publicity to their projects. Ukrainian museums have a chance to tell about their most successful projects implemented during the previous year.

The Program to Support Museum Workers’ major goal is offering beneficial aid to the professionals who make their museum a central piece of the cultural space in their region, serving the society and popularizing the cultural heritage preserved in their museum. In the years of its work, over 70 museum workers from various museums in Ukraine have received their beneficial aid within the program’s framework for their activities aimed at preserving and studying museum collections, introducing new programs and projects, and popularizing the museum life in Ukraine.
