Attractions of Tyliavka

The Literary and Memorial Museum of the outstanding Ukrainian writer, publicist and public figure Ulas Samchuk opened in the village of Tyliavka, in the artist's small homeland, in 1993 in the premises of a local school.

The museum was founded on the initiative of a local ethnographer, history teacher and long-time director of the museum, Petro Panasyuk, with the support of Ulas Samchuk's wife, Mrs. Yevheniya Pasternak, who in 1994 transferred from Toronto large collections of materials, works, personal belongings of Ulas Samchuk and the writer's library. So now in the Tyliavka Literary and Memorial Museum of Ulas Samchuk you can see the table at which the outstanding master of the word worked, writing instruments, a camera, a tape recorder, a typewriter, glasses, a telephone, items of clothing, etc.

The Ulas Samchuk Museum includes 5 departments - four exhibition and one scientific. The museum's collections include about five thousand exhibits. The writer's personal library, which is presented in the museum, has more than a thousand copies.

In 2005, a bust of Ulas Samchuk was installed in front of the school, which houses the writer's memorial museum.

On the outskirts of Tyliavka, on Dermanska Street, there is the Samchuk farmstead - a house built in the 1920s, which has been completely preserved to this day. A memorial plaque in honor of Ulas Samchuk is installed on its facade.
