The Ivan Marchuk Museum was created in 2010 in the premises of the Moskalivka elementary school in the artist's homeland - in the village of Moskalivka village near Lanivtsi. The institution is a subdivision of the Lanivtsi city communal institution "Ivan Marchuk Museum".

People's Artist of Ukraine Ivan Marchuk was born in Moskalivka in 1936 in the family of a local weaver, graduated from a seven-year rural school. Subsequently, he studied at the Lviv School of Applied Arts named after Ivan Trush. Today, the master's creative output includes about 5,000 paintings, which are exhibited in museums on all continents of the world.

For a long time, the museum in Moskalivka was the only Ivan Marchuk museum in Ukraine. It was started by enthusiastic local teachers in one school room with the personal assistance of the artist. Later, the exhibition expanded.

Now the museum has two exhibition halls where some of Ivan Marchuk's personal belongings, documentary materials about the artist's life in Moskalivka, his creative path and world recognition are presented. For some time, the museum exhibited more than 40 original Marchuk paintings, but now only reproductions can be seen. Excursions are conducted by schoolchildren.
