The Bohdan and Varvara Chanenko National Museum of Art in Kyiv is one of the most important museum institutions in Eastern Europe, with collections of European, Asian and ancient art. Due to the significant damage that the institution suffered during Russia’s attacks on Kyiv in the autumn of 2022, its management decided to loan part of its art collection to the Royal Castle in Warsaw in order to secure it for the time of war and conduct its conservation. This decision created a unique opportunity to present these art pieces to the audience in Poland. The “Cabinet of European Art” is the first such extensive presentation of the Chanenko collection outside of Ukraine. It features 37 works of Italian, Dutch, Flemish, French and Spanish art, including those signed by masters such as Peter Paul Rubens, Bernardo Bellotto and Juan de Zurbarán. The subject matter is also diverse – from portraits, through still life and landscapes, to scenes with antique themes. The exhibition is accompanied by a rich program of educational activities, curatorial guided tours (also for people with visual and hearing disabilities) and quiet hours on every Tuesday and Saturday with the sensory stimuli reduced. “Cabinet of European Art” is open until March 30.
