Attractions of Mykhailivka

The Museum of Ukrainian Culture "Cossack Bessarabia" opened in the village of Mykhailivka in early 2023 in one room of the village's House of Culture. Within a year, due to a lack of space to accommodate the museum's exhibits, it was necessary to look for a more spacious room.

On November 29, 2024, to mark the 200th anniversary of the village's founding, the renovated museum was opened in a separate room of the former children's library. The museum was named "Cossack Bessarabia" in honor of the Cossacks who founded the village.

The idea to create the museum belongs to former history teacher Valentyna Kozyarchuk, who dreamed of opening a museum. Although she failed to realize this idea, her many years of research into the history of the village were embodied in the book "Mykhailivka". After her death, museum enthusiast Nadiya Sporysh, who had been collecting exhibits for the museum for a long time, decided to make this dream come true.

In the museum "Cossack Bessarabia" you can see a lot of interesting things related to the life and traditions of the Mykhailivka people for many years. The exhibits for the museum were collected in various ways. Among the most valuable: a 100-year-old plow, a large homespun carpet from the 1940s, a blacksmith's plowshare, a collection of embroidered towels, Ukrainian scarves, embroidered paintings, old documents and much more.

The most impressive is the embroidered painting "Ukrainian woman", which was created by women in labor in the local maternity hospital for 20 years.
