MUSEUM OF MODERN ART COULD TO BE CREATED IN UKRAINIAN CAPITAL

Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports of Ukraine Volodymyr Borodiansky has announced the creation of a new institution in 2020 – the Museum of Modern Art, the press service of the ministry has said. “It will include several parallel processes: the concept of the museum, its material component and, at the same time, filling of the collection. This means that the state must buy art works, which are then to be displayed and stored in this museum,” said Borodiansky.
According to the Ministry of Culture, the creation of the museum is planned from 2020 and will last up to four-five years.
“The problem of our contemporary art is the physical absence of a museum that would accumulate the works of our outstanding masters. I am convinced that separate halls should be dedicated to outstanding Ukrainian artists such as Ivan Marchuk and other outstanding contemporary Ukrainian artists,” Borodiansky added.
