Attractions of Vyazove

The memorial museum complex of the Ukrainian artist, painter, and graphic artist Mykola Storozhenko opened in his small homeland, in the village of Vyazove, in 2018, on the occasion of the artist's 90th birthday.

Mykola Storozhenko is an academician of the National Academy of Arts of Ukraine, People's Artist of Ukraine, professor, laureate of the Taras Shevchenko National Prize of Ukraine, founder and long-time head of the Painting and Temple Culture Workshop at the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture. He belonged to the circle of the second wave of the National Renaissance in Ukraine, the "sixties", which included such iconic figures as Opanas Zalyvakha, Lyudmyla Semykina, Yuriy Yakutovych, Alla Horska, Viktor Zaretskiy, Halyna Sevruk, Valentyn Zadorozhniy. All of them were open to experiments with different materials in order to carry out a high synthesis, combining the achievements of Ukrainian folk art, the experience of the Ukrainian avant-garde, and European modernism.

In addition to the artist's works, the museum's exhibits also feature the artist's memorial items donated to the museum by his family - books, brushes and paints, gifts and awards.

The house where Mykola Storozhenko lived and the school where Storozhenko studied and painted his first works have been preserved on the territory of Vyazove.
