Palace / manor , Museum / gallery

The Ihor Stravinsky Museum in Ustyluh was opened in the house that the composer built according to his own project in 1907.

Ustyluh became the birthplace of three generations of the Stravinsky creative family. Composer Ihor Stravinsky lived in Ustiluz from 1892 to 1914, he married his cousin Kateryna Nosenko here, he called this city a "paradise for creativity". It was here that he created the ballets "The Hot Bird" (1910), "Petrushka" (1912), "Sacred Spring" (1913), which reflected the musical folklore of Volyn.

Most of the premises of Stravinsky's house, built according to his own design, are now occupied by a children's music school with a concert hall.

The museum is located on the first floor in the left wing. In four halls, materials are presented that tell about the life and creative path of the brilliant composer, his stay in Ustyluh, and his last visit to the Soviet Union. In particular, you can see the grand piano on which Stravinsky played.
