Memorialʹnyy Muzey-Sadyba Lesya Kurbasa
About This Museum
You might not expect to find a tribute to one of Ukraine's greatest theatrical revolutionaries in a quiet village, but that's exactly what makes this place so special. This charming green-and-white wooden house, nestled in the Ternopil countryside, was where the visionary director Les Kurbas spent his formative years. Stepping inside feels less like entering a museum and more like walking into a preserved moment of creative history. The rooms are filled with personal artifacts, from his writing desk to stage designs, that whisper stories of his groundbreaking work.
Collection Highlights
Look for his iconic pince-nez glasses resting on a book and the simple wooden trunk he traveled with. You'll also find fascinating original sketches for his avant-garde stage productions and a collection of personal letters that reveal his artistic philosophy.
Visitor Information
It's located right on the main street in Staryi Skalat—you can't miss the distinctive house. Since it's a smaller museum, it's wise to call ahead if you're making a special trip to confirm opening hours.
