About the place
In the inner courtyard of the Bohdan and Varvara Khanenko National Museum of Arts, you can see a variety of mosaics.
In the mid-20th century, the museum’s then-director Vasyl Ovchynnikov worked on them. He personally planned every detail and invested not only his time but also his own money into the project. It is said that Ovchynnikov would start his workdays at 7 a.m. and wouldn’t leave the courtyard until late in the evening.
Since he wasn’t permitted to decorate the building’s façade with mosaics, the artist decided to adorn the inner walls instead. That’s how a courtyard with chestnut blossoms, a male portrait, an image of a mother with a child, and a stork came to be — a place still considered one of the most atmospheric spots on Tereshchenkivska Street.
