The Ukrainian Museum opens its East 6th Street home with an Archipenko retrospective
The Ukrainian Museum, founded in 1976 by the Ukrainian National Women's League of America, opens its current home at 222 East 6th Street. The museum had begun in two floors of a remodeled tenement at 203 Second Avenue. The new galleries open with a retrospective of the avant-garde sculptor Alexander Archipenko, a bold choice for a museum then best known for its displays of pysanky, or Easter eggs.
