Embroidery

Embroidery is such an ingrained part of Ukrainian culture, that we have included it even on everyday objects such as salt sellers and team football shirts.

Included in the exhibition are over 200 embroidered items, including three items embroidered by Ukrainian women in the Soviet concentration camps in the 1950s.

The exhibition has antique embroideries as well as traditional embroidery used on contemporary clothes including wedding dresses and accessories.
