Historical and Local Lore Museum of Culture and Life of Boikivshchyna

The Tsinovsk Historical and Local History Museum was opened in 1976. It is located in an old house of the village, which was once called the White School, as this building amazed and delighted everyone with its white color. The school was built by the village community in 1910. The funds for this were allocated by the Glezinger company as compensation to the villagers for the land they gave for the construction of the railway to the Carpathians.

More than five thousand monuments of material and spiritual culture are collected in five halls of the museum. These are documents of history and archeology, numismatic collections, crafts and household items. The museum was awarded the title of national museum.

Hall 1. Here you can find objects and illustrative materials that acquaint visitors with the history of the Rozhniativ region from the second century BC to the third century AD. There are pottery, stone axes, scrapers, and knives on display. The sections "Kyivan Rus," "Galicia-Volyn Principality," and "The Land Under the Yoke of Noble Poland" vividly tell the story of the region. Interesting materials about our history are contained in the sections "Culture and Education" and "Economy of the region in the second half of the XIX - early XX century". The interior of a Boyko house is also presented here.

Room 2. This room contains materials about the First World War, which passed through the district like a black line, about the Sich Riflemen and the formation of the ZUNR.

Under their leadership, a monument of folk architecture, the church, which is now on display in the Shevchenkivskyi Hai museum, was moved from the village of Kryvky to Lviv.
