Vilshanka Ukrainian-Bulgarian Historical Museum named after Ivan Hurzhos

Museum / gallery

The Vilshanka Ukrainian-Bulgarian Historical Museum bears the name of its founder, Ivan Hurzhos, who during his lifetime collected a large collection of local history materials on the history of his native Vilshanka and the Vilshanka region.

The main exposition is devoted to the resettlement of more than 400 families of Danube Bulgarians who took part in the Russian-Turkish war of 1768–1774 on the side of Russia. The most valuable exhibit is the icon of St. John the Merciful (1874), painted for the 100th anniversary of the settlement of Bulgarians in the Vilshanka region.

Also among the exhibits: the Bulgarian national musical instrument – a gaida, saber and scabbard produced by the Zlatoustiv factory, Bulgarian national women's clothing, a Cossack pipe, works of local carpet makers and embroiderers, etc.

Special attention should be paid to the reprint edition of "Vilshanka Village Chronicle", written by the priest of the Church of Saint John the Merciful Volodymyr Lobachevsky, who described the period from 1773 to 1885.
