The work with preschool and school age children is a strategically important area of our activity just as it is for many museums in the world. That is due to the fact that a museum is a place where children should feel welcome, comfortable and relaxed, where they can acquire knowledge and create. Therefore, it is symbolic that a sincere painting by Sergiy Tsiupko’s daughter has become its emblem.
