Description:
As a tribute to Alberta's Ukrainian settlers and in an effort to preserve their heritage, this museum acquires and displays artifacts relating to the culture. Visitors will see an array of traditional clothing, including the costumes of important women through the ages. Handicrafts such as embroidery, weaving and woodcarving are on exhibit too, as are elaborately-decorated Easter eggs and musical instruments from the native land. Many religious items illustrate the importance of their faith to Ukrainian immigrants; an early Slavonic Bible from 1751 is among the artifacts displayed. The museum's archives also contain a wealth of diaries, letters and manuscripts.
