About us
Located just north of downtown Edmonton, the Ukrainian Museum of Canada, Alberta Branch has been collecting, preserving, and sharing items of historical, cultural, and artistic significance for over 80 years, advancing knowledge of Ukrainian heritage in Canada. Our goal is to connect visitors with the lived experiences of the early Ukrainian settlers — from their embroidery and folk dress to their folk traditions and everyday life.
Current Exhibit
Ukrainian Museum of Canada, Alberta Branch invites you, your family, friends, and colleagues to attend our new exhibit, “Repression, Resistance and Nationhood: Ukrainian Nation-Building – A Historical Representation”. The exhibit opened on Friday May 22nd at 7 pm and continues until the end of August.
The exhibit showcases milestones in Ukrainian history including the founding of Kyiv, Kyivan Rus, the Halych-Volyn Principality and Kingdom, the Ukrainian Cossack Hetmanate, the 1917-21 Ukrainian War of Independence, Independent Ukraine and its people’s courageous fight against the Kremlin’s current military invasion of Ukraine.
