Where Light Remains: Ukrainian Icons Across the Centuries
The exhibition Where Light Remains: Ukrainian Icons Across the Centuries opened this weekend at the National Gallery of Iceland.
Bringing together 32 rare icons dating from the 12th century to the early 19th century, the exhibition offers a unique opportunity to experience remarkable works from the collection of the National Art Museum of Ukraine in Kyiv. Dedicated to safeguarding Ukraine’s cultural heritage, the exhibition marks the first time these exceptional works have been presented outside their homeland.
The exhibition has been made possible through close collaboration between the National Art Museum of Ukraine, the National Gallery of Iceland and the National Museum of Iceland, in cooperation with the Ministry for Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Culture, Innovation and Higher Education.
We extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who contributed to bringing this important project to fruition, and to all those who joined us for the opening and helped make it such a special occasion.
