The staff of Dmytro Yavornytsky History Museum presented Mrs. Yushchenko with a set of books for the Museum Library.
This year Dmytro Yavornytsky History Museum celebrates its 160th anniversary. It displays around 7,000 exhibits, telling the story of the region from ancient time to the mid-twentieth century. Among them are outstanding rarities, e.g. world famous Kernosovka idol of the third millennium B.C. and a pharaoh statue with Ramses the Sixth name on it. At present, the museum is not only a leading center popularizing the national cultural heritage but also a powerful center of the country’s museum business development. In the last years the museum has become a testing ground for designing and implementing innovative museum technologies. In part, it has introduced a new for Ukraine practice of national museum festivals and is elaborating a modern methodical base on various issues related to museum work.
The museum has repeatedly become laureate of actions organized by Ukraine 3000 Foundation. It is a two-times prize winner of the Museum Event of the Year all-Ukrainian action: first place in 2006 (for the Museum Festival project, 2005) and third place in 2009 (for the Museum Festival project, 2008). The museum’s worker Valentyna Lazebnyk took part in the Museum Workers Support Program for 2006-2007. In March-June 2009, the museum hosted the Rift through Life exhibition (joint project by Ukraine 3000 Foundation and Rheinland District Alliance, Germany).
Kateryna Yushchenko and Ukraine 3000 International Charitable Foundation members are on a one-day working trip to Dnipropetrovsk oblast. Earlier they have visited Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Children’s Clinical Hospital, passing over two artificial lungs ventilation machines together with Procter & Gamble Ukraine Director for Public Relations Vitaly Prokopenko.
