Museum of Easter painting
Information
The Museum of Pysanka painting ("Pysanka Museum") is the only museum in the world dedicated to Easter eggs. It is based on the Easter egg collection of the Kolomyia Folk Art Museum of the Hutsul region. In September 2000, a unique building in the shape of an Easter egg was built for the museum, which became a symbol of Kolomyia.
The museum's collection includes more than 12,000 Easter eggs and decorative eggs from Ukraine and 35 countries around the world, including Easter eggs, drawing books, scratchers on chicken, goose, ostrich shells, and decorative eggs made of various materials. The oldest Easter egg in the collection, written with natural dyes on a goose egg, dates back more than 500 years. The museum regularly holds exhibitions of traditional and modern Easter egg painting, master classes on Easter egg painting, and other events.
