Pishchanka Museum of Local Lore

Museum / gallery

The local history museum in Pishchanka was created in 1987 on the initiative of local historian Volodymyr Bershadsky.

In the main exposition, ancient household items and tools of the inhabitants of Podillya are widely presented. Ukrainian shirts of the 18th and 19th centuries are particularly proud of the collection of the Pishchanka Museum of Local Lore, where there are embroideries with elements of both Ukrainian and Moldavian traditions.

The second exposition tells about important events of the 20th century that had a significant impact on the history of the region, including the Ukrainian revolution of 1917–1921, the Holodomor of 1932–1933, the Second World War, the reconstruction of the national economy, and Ukraine's independence.

An exhibition of paintings by local artist Stepan Trubalyevych has been opened in the exhibition hall of the Pishchanka Museum of Local Lore.
