Transcarpathian Regional Art Museum named after Yosyp Bokshay is located in the former county building in Uzhhorod.
A massive classicist office building on a hill in the center of the city was built in 1809 to house local authorities. On the facade you can see the coat of arms of the Ung County. The house is connected with the events of the Hungarian national liberation struggle and the activities of the Ukrainian society "Prosvita".
Since 1979, the premises have been occupied by the Transcarpathian Regional Art Museum named after Yosyp Bokshay with an exhibition of works by Ukrainian, Hungarian and Western European artists.
The basis of the museum collection are the works of the former Zemsky Art Gallery. The artistic work of Transcarpathian artists is represented by the works of recognized luminaries of fine arts Yosyp Bokshay, Adalbert Erdely, Andriy Kotska, Vasyl Svyda, Zoltan Sholtes and many others.

Natural object
Voyevodyn waterfall is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Transcarpathia.
It is located in a hard-to-reach place on the territory of the Sokolovi Skeli State Reserve. The name is deciphered as "voy-vodyn" (howling water). He also received the second name Shypit for his powerful voice.
The icy waters of the mountain stream waterfall Voyevodyn, flowing from Mount Runa, are dumped here from a height of 24 meters and after 4 kilometers flow into the Shypit River.
There is a comfortable recreation center nearby.
