Carpathian Regional Museum of the Liberation Movement

The museum was founded in 1963 and was then called the Museum of Partisan Glory. Initially, it was an ordinary building, but later, in August 1968, a new museum was opened according to the project of the architect Stasiv, which was designed to resemble a partisan dugout. It existed in this form until 1987, and in that year work began on its reconstruction. The right wing of the museum was completed and its ceiling was completely changed.

Today, the museum has not only changed its appearance and its name, but its exposition has also changed. If, from 1963 to 1991, i.e. before the declaration of independence, the entire exposition was devoted exclusively to the Soviet partisan movement, then, starting from the first years of independence, it began to change gradually, i.e. to expand and supplement. At present, the museum presents the stages of the historical process of the Yaremche region, or rather, the liberation movement in our area. Here you will find information about the Oprishka movement, the history of the Ukrainian Sich Riflemen, the creation of the OUN (an organization of Ukrainian nationalists) and the activities of the UPA (Ukrainian Insurgent Army). You will learn about the SS Division "Galicia" and, of course, get acquainted with the activities of partisans led by S.A. Kovpak and S.V. Rudnev in the Carpathians.

It should also be noted that the museum constantly hosts exhibitions dedicated to a particular date. In particular, the exhibition of the Metropolitan A. Sheptytsky Museum, a collection of works by Ukrainian repatriate artists, as well as a collection of sculptures by the missionary father Yaroslav Svyshchyk, was exhibited here for a long time. The museum has hosted an exhibition dedicated to Hutsul folk art, an exhibition of paintings by Yaremche artists, and an exhibition by a carver from Chicago, a native of Tatariv.

The current exhibition of the museum is a page of the history of our country that was silenced until recently. These are the stories of people from our region who sacrificed their lives, often the lives of their children and loved ones, to make our country free.
