UKRAINIAN LETTERS (temporary) MUSEUM
Description
UKRAINIAN LETTERS (temporary) MUSEUM is the only museum of Ukrainian letters and, perhaps, the smallest museum in the world. The exposition presents 33 works of art, namely 33 letters of the Ukrainian alphabet. These are revivals and interpretations of the works of 33 prominent Ukrainian graphic artists.
These letters were found on old book covers and other printed materials from 1917, the time of the Ukrainian National Republic, to the present day of Independent Ukraine. The project was exhibited in Weimar (Germany) and twice in NYC (United States).
The project's mission was to acquaint as many people as possible with Ukrainian culture and language, to show them the beauty and diversity of the Ukrainian alphabet, and to bring them closer to the awareness that letters are not only a tool for the visual expression of language. Letters are art.
