The Nadiya Bokoch Towel Museum in the village of Stepne bears the name of its founder. Local collector Nadiya Bokoch began collecting antique towels in the early 2000s. Her private collection became the basis of the museum, which opened in 2009 on the second floor of the local cultural center.
Currently, the exhibition features over 600 exhibits, most of which are embroidered towels collected from all districts of Poltava region, as well as from Kharkiv, Sumy, Chernihiv, Vinnytsia, Transcarpathia and other regions of Ukraine. All of them are hand-embroidered in different techniques and have patterns characteristic of their regions. Embroidered paintings, rural clothing and household items are also presented.
One of the exhibits is the "Peoples Friendship Towel", which Nadiya Bokoch embroidered herself, collecting in it samples of embroidery techniques from different parts of Ukraine at the same time.
