Interesting Facts
The Museum of Ukrainian Antiquities was established in Chernihiv at the end of the 19th century. Its founder was a famous patron and collector Vasyl Tarnovsky Jr. Tarnowski himself divided the meeting into three sections: prehistoric, grand ducal and Cossack. The first two consisted mainly of archaeological excavations of the ancient Russian city of Roden (modern Cherkasy region), carried out at the expense of Tarnowski. The Cossack department of the collection was extraordinary in size and composition. In addition to antiquities, Vasyl Tarnovsky collected everything related to the life and work of Taras Shevchenko.
