From February 22 to June 2, 2024, the leading Austrian museum Belvedere will host a unique exhibition "In the Eye of the Storm. Modernism in Ukraine".
This is the first large-scale presentation outside of Ukraine that reflects the international and avant-garde nature of the artistic movements of the Ukrainian state in the first half of the twentieth century.
The exhibition will feature masterpieces by Ukrainian artists from such cultural centers as Kyiv, Lviv, and Kharkiv. The exhibition will be selected from the collections of the National Art Museum of Ukraine.
