The Carpathian Regional museum of Struggle for Liberation
The original building of the Carpathian Regional museum of Struggle for Liberation (previously called "The Museum of Partisans' Glory") strikes the eye in the heart of the town. The Museum received its new name in 1993. This renaming gave a start to the research work in the field of historical and regional studies by collecting the objective facts of the history of Ukraine. For the first time the Museum presented various expositions on the history of the liberating struggle of the western Ukrainian people against various invaders: "The Glorious Opryshkivstvo and Oleksa Dovbush", "The Ukrainian Sichovi Striltsi - the Ukrainian heroes of air", "OUN-UPA" - the inviolable fighters for the Sovereignty of the Ukrainian State in the XX century. The exposition is constantly being enriched and enlarged. In the Museum you have the possibility to observe the original exhibition of the works of famous world artists, especially Ukrainians, which are dedicated to the partisans and the fighters for freedom of Ukraine in the XX century. Among them there is a laureate of the Shevchenko`s Prize of 1995 Mykola Bidnyak from Canada, a painter from the USA Mykhailo Dmytrenko and others. The constantly acting exposition fascinates and leads everyone into its artistic world. This exposition is represented by the private collection of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church priest Yaroslav Svyshchuk, a missionary from the Ukrainian Diaspora, and is known under the symbolic name "The Archibishop Sheptytskyi's Museum". The Museum cooperates with different creative unions, organizes art and crafts exhibitions, supplies the inquired information on the liberating struggle in Yaremche region.
