In the Museum of the Volyn Icon, located in the regional center of Volyn, an exhibition entitled "Church Embroidery. Traditions and Modernity" has been on display for more than a month. It is formed from the holdings of the Volyn and Rivne local history museums, as well as from the collections of Vladyka Nifont, Metropolitan of Lutsk and Volyn of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate, Archbishop Bartholomew of Rivne and Ostroh, and private collections. The exhibition display includes more than 100 items. The exhibition halls present monuments of church and secular fine and decorative embroidery: 19th-century epitaphios in which painting is combined with gold embroidery, 18th–19th-century church vestments and embroidered church utensils. According to the head of the museum, Tetiana Elieisieieva, the pearls of the exhibition are fragments of 18th-century gold-and-silver embroidery from the castle of the Radziwill princes in Olyka, medallions with pictorial compositions – "The Mother of God Hodegetria," "Saint Nicholas," "The Resurrection of Christ" from the 19th century, and icons inlaid with beads. In addition, the ancient traditions of church embroidery are represented in the works of contemporary embroiderers of the Horodok, Hoshcha and Korets monasteries in the Rivne region and the Mykhne and Zymne monasteries in Volyn. During the exhibition's run, it has been visited by more than 2,000 people. Given such popularity, the museum staff decided to keep it on display until the end of the month.
