More than a million people of Ukrainian descent live in the United States, mostly in New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles. American museums across the country elevate Ukrainian culture, history and art.

“One of the things President Putin’s war is trying to accomplish is to somehow remove Ukrainian identity,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on May 9 during a visit to the Ukrainian Institute of America. “That identity is powerfully manifested through their culture.”

New York: Home to the most Ukrainian Americans

About 138,000 people of Ukrainian descent live in New York City – half of whom were born outside the United States. See the article : God’s Team: The Great Seal of the United States.

The Ukrainian Museum in Manhattan highlights Ukrainian culture such as traditional pysanky (decorated Ukrainian Easter eggs), fine art including paintings and works on paper, and folk art such as rushnyky and other ceremonial textiles. Founded in 1976, the museum’s collection includes more than 1,000 objects.

The museum’s current exhibits deal with the full-scale invasion of Russia and war in Ukraine highlighting the work of Max Levin, a Ukrainian photojournalist executed by Russian soldiers in March, and the illustrations by Ukrainian artist Nikita Kravtsov. Kravtsov’s illustrations reimagine a Slavic tale of mushrooms fighting peas as a way to satirize the war.

“As an institution that was founded to preserve Ukraine’s rich cultural heritage in the diaspora,” notes its website, “the Museum condemns Vladimir Putin’s war and his indiscriminate bombing of Ukrainian cities, resulting in an unspeakable loss of innocent lives and already has “The terrible destruction of residential areas, schools, museums, landmarks and other historic structures.”
