About 

This book is a concentrated presentation of the most vibrant masterpieces of Ukrainian art, set within a historical context. It was originally created for readers who may have limited prior knowledge of Ukraine and its people.

The full-scale Russian invasion—aimed at the erasure of our state and our identity—and the powerful, unexpected resistance of the Ukrainian military and its citizens, sparked a global surge of interest. Foreigners, researchers, and ordinary people alike have felt a profound need to discover the true depth of Ukrainian culture.

The original English edition, published by the prestigious London house Thames & Hudson, has already played a vital role in satisfying this curiosity. However, in today’s world, interpersonal connection has taken on a new level of significance. Ukrainians forced to flee their homes have become cultural ambassadors in their new communities, while those remaining at home continue to share our story with friends around the world.
This Ukrainian edition of "Treasures of Ukraine" offers more than just aesthetic pleasure through its stunning masterpieces and insights from leading intellectuals. Thanks to its concise format and clarity, it serves as an essential "handbook" for these vital conversations, empowering readers to speak confidently about our heritage and who we are.
