Ivan Franko was a 19th century Ukrainian writer and activist who lived in that part of western Ukraine governed by Austria. Known as Galicia, it was from this region that thousands of Ukrainians left their beloved homeland to come to Canada (1890-1930) in the hope of a better life. The Museum not only illustrates his life through paintings and drawings, but it attempts to show how Franko’s activism impacted the people of Galicia and Ukraine and indirectly those who emigrated to Canada. The Museum also contains a collection of musical instruments, ceramics, wood carvings, glass, and hand-woven kilims, many from this region. Stop for a cup of tea (chai) and honey cake (mediwnyk) at “Baba’s Teapot” mini café.
The museum is located within the Ivan Franko Manor, a multi storey seniors apartment complex at 200 McGregor Street.
