Sacred Treasures from Kyiv 

Discover seven exceptional examples of Ukrainian sacred art, brought together to illuminate Kyiv’s Orthodox Christian heritage, on display in the UK for the first time.

Reflecting centuries of devotion and artistic achievement, these works also speak to loss, displacement and return. On loan from the National Preserve 'Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra', this display honours the resilience of Ukraine’s cultural inheritance.
