In the heart of Kyiv, in a cozy corner where the history of the city is intertwined with the present, Svitlana Hovorova, the head of "Sadyba na Kudriavka" Museum (a branch of the Museum of the History of Kyiv), works. Her journey in the world of culture has lasted for more than 30 years, and during this time, she has witnessed many changes, but none of them were as dramatic as the war Ukraine faced.
The renovated museum has become not only a place to preserve history, but also a center of support for the community. A place where people find solace for their souls. Svitlana talks about the increasing number of visitors who come not only for knowledge but also for emotional support.
Museum workers actively cooperate with rehabilitation centers. They hold classes for children and teenagers. "It's not just about art, it's about therapy. Working with your hands helps to relieve stress and find inner peace", — Svitlana explains. The museum has become a platform for lectures, concerts and workshops that help people to break away from the horrors of war.
