The People's Museum of Father Markiyan Shashkevych in the village of Novosilky was opened in 2011 for the 200th anniversary of his birth. It is located in the premises of the former village school built in 1928.
The outstanding Ukrainian writer, public figure, "awakener" of national consciousness in Galicia, Markiyan Shashkevych, was the parish priest of the village of Novosilky in 1842-1843. It was here that he died and here is the place of his first burial.
The museum presents a gallery of portraits of Markiyan Shashkevych and photos of memorable places connected with him. Here you can learn about the activities of the "Ruthenian Triad" (Ruska Triytsia) society founded by Shashkevych, about his literary heritage and about the history of the reburial of the "alarmist".
The ethnographic exposition presents everyday objects of residents of Novosilky of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, embroideries, icons, and old prints. A monument to Father Markiyan Shashkevych (sculptor Teodozia Bryzh) has been installed in front of the museum.
