Art-Memorial Museum "Manor of Artist Oleksandr Sayenko"

Museum / gallery

The Borzna Memorial Art Museum "Manor of the People's Artist of Ukraine Oleksandr Sayenko" was opened in 1996 in the house of the Sayenko family in the town of Borzna, Chernihiv Region.

The exposition highlights the life and work of the famous Ukrainian decorator, whose name is included in the UNESCO list of outstanding figures of world culture.

Oleksandr Sayenko was born in Borzna in 1899. Due to an illness, he lost his hearing and speech as a child, but thanks to the patronage of the Sayenko neighbor, the writer Hanna Barvinok (wife of Panteleymon Kulish), he entered the St. Petersburg Imperial School for the Deaf and Dumb. He became most famous for his works in the field of monumental and monumental-decorative art in the straw inlay technique.

The exposition of the museum presents such famous works as "Kozak Mamay", "Semen Paliy" and others. Also on display are carpets, tapestries, scraps of Sayenko's work, a collection of Ichnya tiles collected by him, and family memorabilia.
