Join us for some Ukrainian musical entertainment as you learn about the life and work of Ivan Franko! Franko was a 19th century Ukrainian writer, poet, translator, linguist, and social activist. Despite having obtained his doctorate, he was unable to secure a teaching position and relied on his writing for income. Interested in the folk legends and songs of his people, he collected over 30,000 songs, many of which found their way into the works of noted composers. The museum also contains musical instruments, ceramics, woodcarving, glass, tapestries and more, many typical of the area in which Franko lived.
