Mykolaiv Regional Museum of Local History is one of the largest local history museums in Ukraine, housing over 400,000 exhibits. In September 2022, the museum’s building was heavily damaged by intense shelling, and restoration work on the exhibition is still ongoing. War is a particularly crucial time for museums to remain visible because they preserve national memory, shape the identity of the people, dispel myths, and motivate Ukrainians to engage with their own history.

This item is part of a large-scale Platfor.ma and the Mykolaiv Regional Museum collaboration.
