Cultural Stops
5. Ukrainian Museum
Sitting at 222 E 6th Street is the Ukrainian Museum, considered the largest American museum dedicated to the cultural heritage of the Ukrainian people. With a massive collection of Ukrainian folk art including jewelry, ceramics, metalwork, paintings, clothing, and “pysanky” (better known here as Ukrainian easter eggs), the Ukrainian museum is an unmissable part of the Village. The museum also includes an impressive archive section that documents the immigration of Ukrainians to the United States through Ellis Island in photographs. Additionally, the museum currently holds events and demonstrations to raise awareness of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. General admission is just $8, a small price to pay to dive deeper into Ukrainian tradition, religion, and cultural importance.
