Somewhere interesting

Pysanka museum in Kolomyia


Although Easter in Ukraine is a bit different compared to other places, it's still considered as one of the most colourful and fun holidays after New Year. People celebrate Easter in different ways. Usually it's celebrated with family. Children and adults all take part in preparation, kids paint easter eggs, which are called "pysanky" in ukrainian, and adults bake sweet bread which is called "paska".

Pysanka Museum was built in 2000 in the western Ukrainian city of Kolomiya. The central part of the museum is in the shape of pysanka (Ukrainian Easter egg).

Inside of the museum you would see a lot of different styles of Ukrainian traditional Easter eggs and the process of their painting. It's definitely an intersesting place to visit if you're going to be in Ukraine, especially at Easter time. :)
