Joslyn Art Museum presents a major exhibition of visually rich and historically intriguing icons and artifacts from the heart of Eastern Europe.

The Glory of Ukraine comprises two distinct and rarely seen collections: icons and religious relics from the famous churches, cathedrals, bell towers, and underground caverns of the nearly 1,000-year-old Monastery of the Caves and artifacts of ancient civilizations that populated modern day Ukraine from the private PlaTar collection. Joslyn is the only U.S. museum to display both components of The Glory of Ukraine exhibition, an unprecedented display of Ukrainian spiritual and national treasures, in their entirety in the U.S.

In cooperation with the U.S.-Ukraine Business Council (USUBC) and with the support of the Embassy of Ukraine in the United States and the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine, The Glory of Ukraine is presented by the Foundation for International Arts & Education (FIAE)(Bethesda, Maryland).

THE GLORY OF UKRAINE OPEN FEB. 12 – MAY 8, 2011
