Attractions of Shepetivka

The Museum of Propaganda was opened in Shepetivka as a memorial museum of Mykola Ostrovsky - one of the four museums of the writer in Ukraine. Renamed by the decision of the Khmelnytsky regional council in 2020. It was founded in 1946, and the current building of the museum was built in 1974-79 according to the individual project of architects M. Guseev and V. Suslov. The three-storey round building, built of stone and metal, is covered with red and black smalt. According to UNESCO, the Museum of Propaganda in Shepetivka is included in the international catalog & quot; Museums of the World & quot; as a unique architectural monument. The artist-monumental design of the exposition was developed by the artist A. Haydamak. The lobby features a bust of M. Ostrovsky by sculptor V. Kornev. The main exposition is located on the third floor. The exhibits are in black cubes mounted on rails. Above the cubes are spatial compositions of various things that correspond to the epoch and theme of the stands. Photographs, documents, memorials, editions of the writer's works and illustrations to them are submitted. The museum is located on a hill, all the approaches to it are beautifully lined with stone, which, in addition to the original design, unfortunately, creates serious inconvenience when moving people with disabilities. Here, on the square, stands a monument to M. Ostrovsky.
