Attractions of Krasna Poliana

The "Mecca of Futurism" museum is being created in the village of Krasna Poliana in the former estate of the Kharkiv merchant Mikhaylo Synyakov and his five daughters, who at the beginning of the 20th century were friends with many famous avant-garde artists and hosted them in their home. It is believed that it was in the Sinyakov estate in the Kharkiv region that world futurism was born, the muses of which were the Synyakov sisters.

The most famous of the sisters is the Ukrainian artist, close to the avant-garde, graphic artist, illustrator Mariya Synyakova-Urechyna. In Ukrainian art of the 1910s-1920s, she represented the neo-primitivist trend. Her works are kept in the National Art Museum of Ukraine, the Museum of Modern Art (New York), and private collections in Ukraine and abroad.

In addition to its memorial value, the Synyakov estate has great architectural and artistic significance, as it is a model of wooden park estates of the late 19th century. Today it is the only building of this type that has survived in the Zmiiv region. The house itself has preserved stucco molding, a stove, a wooden floor, and red wallpaper on the wall.

The Museum "Mecca of Futurism" is a branch of the Zmiiv Museum of Local Lore.
