Ukrainian Museum

Ukrainians have a long history and still a strong presence here, hence the existence of several (though rapidly disappearing) pierogi joints – including the famous Odessa and Veselka – and this interesting museum, which moved into its sleek and expansive headquarters several years ago. Its collection of folk art includes richly woven textiles, ceramics, metalwork and traditional Ukrainian Easter eggs, as well as the research tools needed for visitors to trace their own Ukrainian roots. Diverse courses in craftwork, from embroidery to bead stringing, are also offered, as are rotating folk-art exhibits and educational lectures.
