An unconventional phillumeny exhibition was organized in Lutsk by the Volyn Association of Collectors. Among its exhibits are varieties of match products, packaging and labels for them, the Western Information Corporation's own correspondent reported on October 12.
Matches of various sizes and shapes, matchboxes and packaging, labels for them and other products of this type – all this is called by the organizers in one word – "phillumeny," which translated into Ukrainian means "love of light."
According to its organizer Anatolii Sierkov, such an exhibition is the first in Volyn and probably in Western Ukraine. After all, phillumeny is a non-standard type of collecting, different from numismatics or philately. It is pursued by a very limited number of people; in Volyn there are only a few of them.
The unconventional exhibition will run until the end of October.
