Since August 24, 1991, Ukraine has been an independent, sovereign state. The proclaimed course toward integration into the world community is impossible without presenting Ukraine at the international level as a civilized state with deep and ancient traditions in various spheres of human activity. For centuries, Ukrainians and people of Ukrainian origin have successfully worked in other states — in political, religious, scientific, and cultural spheres. Many talented sons and daughters of Ukraine have presented the nation's considerable potential beyond its borders, made outstanding contributions to the development of world civilization, and brought glory to their historical homeland. The exhibition "Our Blossom — Throughout the World," created at the Volyn Museum of Local Lore, aims to convey to fellow compatriots verified information about the origin, fate, and contribution of our countrymen to the world heritage. The main goal of the exhibition is the discovery, presentation, and honoring of prominent individuals born in Ukraine whose activities are recognized by all humanity. Our exhibits — religious figures — Metropolitan Polycarp Sikorsky, church figure and scholar Ivan Ohienko (Metropolitan Ilarion), figures of science — archaeologist Oleksandr Tsynkalovsky and astronomer Olena Kazimirchak-Polonska, whose name was given to minor planet No. 2006. Cultural figures (music, literature) are represented by materials of Igor Stravinsky, Hryhorii Machtet and Yaroslav Smelyakov, Yurii Kosach and Yaroslav Hudemchuk (exhibited for the first time). The activities of the Ukrainian diaspora are represented by publications of books on Ukrainian history, philatelic and philocartic materials, with which benefactors Maksym Boiko (USA), Roman Dubyniak and Petro Tsybaniuk (England), Serhii Liashuk (Germany), Andrii Zhukovsky (France), Markiian Kots and Roman Kukhar (USA), Mykola Voron (Canada) constantly enriched the collections of the Volyn Museum of Local Lore. It is precisely in this regard — beneficence — that the materials of Halyna Melnyk-Kaluzhynska from London deserve attention, as she transferred to the museum for preservation part of her archive and rare items related to the Skoropadsky family and personal ones. The exhibition "Our Blossom — Throughout the World" is called upon to draw the attention of the world community to Ukraine — an independent European state with a rich history and powerful human resources. At the same time, the said exhibition should stimulate the national consciousness of our citizens, evoke in them a sense of pride for their Fatherland and their people, and contribute to establishing a worthy image of Ukraine in the world.
The exhibition 'Our Blossom — Throughout the World' was opened on August 19, 2004 at the Volyn Museum of Local Lore; the exhibition is dedicated to the 13th anniversary of Ukraine's Independence.
