It may be a bit strange to present works that are hanging on a gallery wall in a series called “Stories from Storage”. However, this exhibition opened in the fall of 2019, and because of COVID-19, it has effectively been “in storage” since the beginning of April 2020. Here is your chance to get an overview of this groundbreaking exhibition of more than 30 rarely-seen works of Yukhym Mykhailiv (1885-1935)—one of the most undeservedly obscure Ukrainian artists of the 20th century—even though the UHEC's facilities are still closed at the time of this writing (in July 2020).
Stories from Storage
Not even the biggest museums can put all of their collections on display at once. The UHEC's currently very limited gallery space makes this challenge even more extreme. The situation is even worse for archives, which can easily have millions of individual documents in their repository.
In "Stories from Storage", we show how individual museum items or archival documents held by the UHEC can illuminate the history, culture, art, and religious beliefs of Ukrainians in Ukraine and the diaspora. We will continue to add blog post content, as well as video podcasts and other media, in the coming months.
