The Museum fence project is near completion!

This fencing project accomplishes two objectives for the Museum. The first being installation of decorative fencing that was intended at the time of construction. The second is to protect our investment in the facility which has witnessed a change in the dynamics of activities in the area.
A significant donation has been made to the Museum to fund this important project, but, more funds are needed for things such as secure locks, power washing the area and removal of graffiti.

At this time, we are asking for your consideration in donating to the fence project. Charity receipts will be issued.

We sincerely thank-you for the continued support MUM receives from our community!

October 1 is the Feastday of Pokrova - the Protection of the Mother of God. Покрова Пресвятої Богоридиці.

In the icon for this day, the Blessed Mother holds a rushnyk (ritual towel) in her outstretched arms above the people in a gesture of protection.

During the early days of the invasion of Ukraine, there was a call to 'Close the Sky' - to protect the people and to preserve their heritage. We are still waiting for the powers-that-be to show courage in standing up to the tyrant who continues to attack and destroy.

In our Feature Gallery rushnyky are draped above us, and our collection displayed there to symbolicly 'Close the Sky' and to protect.

The images below are located in the Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral of St. George in Saskatoon.

On September 7th, 1891 the first Ukrainian immigrants arrived in Canada. These early settlers laid the foundation for Ukrainian life in Canada.

This week Saskatchewan also celebrates 𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐲𝐬!

Ukrainians have a long and colourful history which impacted the lives of our early settlers who were one of the founding peoples of the Saskatchewan prairies. We celebrate our birthplace, traditions, practices and beliefs.

Shown is part of our prairie life display. Our early immigrants came from an agricultural lifestyle and developed their farmland as they knew how. They had to adapt to the new harsh and unfamiliar surroundings, making their own tools and implements as they used in Ukraine.

Join MUM as we strive to preserve our rich traditions, stories and spirit. Ukrainian culture lives on - not just as a memory; Ukrainian heritage lives on through art, education, language and tradition.

We especially recognize the importance of preserving and sharing Ukrainian culture during this time of displacement and the unprovoked invasion by russia attempting to destroy Ukrainian identity and culture.

This feastday commemorates the finding of the True Cross on which Jesus was crucified. It was found by St. Helena, mother of Constantine the Great, during her pilgrimage to the Holy Land, in 326AD.

In this image, Empress Helena, wearing the crown and holding the cross, stands alongside the Patriarch of Antioch, Macarius. The cross is elevated for veneration by the faithful.

This large religious artpiece originated in the now decommissioned Exaltation of the Holy Cross church in Hubbard, Saskatchewan and is now on display in the Ecclesiastical gallery at Musée Ukraina Museum. Sadly, there is some obvious damage to the canvas.

It was painted by the Winnipeg-based Ukrainian artist and iconographer, Hnat Sich in 1918.

Ukrainian settlers arrived in the Hubbard area (SE of Ituna) in 1903 from the western county region of Stryi, south of Lviv, in the foothills of the Carpathian mountains.

Throwback Thursday!

Who remembers the 'Doors Open Saskatoon' - a day of touring heritage locations in Saskatoon?

These papers, found deep in the MUM cabinets, are from The StarPhoenix, Friday, May 26, 2006. Twenty years ago! MUM was still at the 202 Ave M location.

Just so you know ... our doors are still open! Sundays 11:30am-3:30pm and, by special arrangement.
