Borschivskyy local history museum
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet street in the old town center, the Borschivskyy Museum is a real gem for anyone curious about this corner of Ternopil. It feels less like a formal institution and more like stepping into the region's collective memory, with each room telling a different part of the story. You'll find everything from ancient Trypillian pottery dug up from local fields to poignant reminders of more recent, turbulent times. The staff are wonderfully knowledgeable locals who clearly love sharing their heritage.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the stunning traditional folk costumes, embroidered with vibrant patterns unique to the Borshchiv area. Another standout is the detailed exhibit on the area's salt-mining history, complete with tools and maps. A particularly moving section is dedicated to preserving the memory of 20th-century struggles for Ukrainian independence.
Visitor Information
It's located at 9 Shevchenka Street, easy to spot in the town center. While it's wise to call ahead as hours can be flexible, it's a perfectly manageable size for a leisurely hour or two visit.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a charming, unassuming building that blends in with the rest of the historic street; it has a simple, almost residential feel from the outside that makes it very approachable.
