Tours of the Resistance 2022 exhibition.

A Tula samovar from 1895, found in a dugout in Hostomel, had been lit with pages of books about socialism. It is the exhibit where schoolchildren linger longest.

The exhibits were brought by volunteer teams that supply the military: fragments of missiles and shells, equipment and personal belongings abandoned by russian soldiers on Ukrainian soil. Next to them are works by Ukrainian artists made from the remains of these missiles.

Every object has its own story. An ejection seat from a bomber shot down near Chernihiv is torn in half. The guidance unit of a Tochka-U missile was made back in 1986 in Soviet Dnipropetrovsk. And the invaders brought the samovar with them because they had been told they were flying to a parade. The guide tells these stories so that it is clear what Ukraine is fighting against - without horror and with respect for listeners of any age.

Help in every object

Every exhibit has a QR code. Point your phone at it and you can send money to the very unit or volunteers who donated the item.
