Rusky People's House (Museum of Local Lore)
Architecture , Museum / gallery
Borshchiv's most prominent building is located in the center, in the pedestrian zone.
The Ukrainian society "Rusky People's House" was founded in 1908 on the initiative of lawyer Mykhaylo Dorundyak and professor Mykhaylo Hrushevsky. At the same time, a building with two towers in the form of domes, typical of Rus Orthodox architecture, was built at the expense of the public according to the project of Galician architect Vasyl Nahirny.
The "Rusky People's House" was the center of development of ancient Ukrainian (Rusyn, not Russian) culture, which is reflected in the name. An honorary member of the "People's House" was Mykhaylo Hrushevsky, who often visited Borshchiv and monitored the construction.
Currently, it is also the cultural center of the city - there is a museum of local history, as well as a museum of Taras Shevchenko with an art gallery - the first in the western part of Ukraine. In particular, the exhibition presents the famous borscht embroidery in black and white.
