Chernihiv Museum of Ukrainian Antiquities (Ukrainian: Чернігівський музей українських старожитностей) – museum in Chernigov, which existed in 1902–1925. It is located just beside the Chernihiv Stadium in st. Shevchenko, 63, Chernihiv, 14027 Ukraine.[1]
History
[edit]For the needs of the museum in 1900–1901, a building on the outskirts of Chernihiv was rebuilt and reequipped, where the craft class of the orphanage was located. This building is known as the house of V. V. Tarnovsky.[2]
The museum was opened in 1902 by the Chernihiv provincial zemstvo council on the basis of the museum and archival relics of the collection of V. V. Tarnovsky bequeathed to it.
Under Soviet rule, the exhibits of the museum replenished the expositions and funds of the State Taras Shevchenko Museum in Kyiv. The collection of autographs was transferred to the Department of Manuscripts of the Institute of Literature named after T. G. Shevchenko of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR. Other materials are now stored in the Chernihiv Regional Historical Museum named after V. V. Tarnovsky.
Now the house of the former museum houses the Chernihiv Regional Library for Youth.
After the establishment of Soviet rule, the museum was renamed the First Soviet Museum and recognized as an institution of national importance. In 1923-1925 it was merged with other Chernihiv museums into the Chernihiv State Museum.
The museum's exhibits were added to the expositions and funds of the State Museum of Taras Shevchenko in Kyiv (now the National Museum of Taras Shevchenko). The collection of autographs was transferred to the Manuscripts Department of the Taras Shevchenko Institute of Literature of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR. Other materials are now kept in the Chernihiv Regional Historical Museum named after V. Tarnovsky.
On or about 10–11 March 2022 the library was heavily damaged, possibly due to the point of destruction, by Russian forces as part of their war of irredentist aggression against Ukraine[3][4][5][6][7][8]
Description
[edit]The most valuable part of V. V. Tarnovsky's collection was Shevchenkiada, which consisted of 758 exhibits. Among them are 18 original letters from Taras Shevchenko, about 30 autographs of works (in particular, "Schodennik"), over 20 personal documents of the poet. The collection included more than 80 letters and records about Shevchenko's funeral, his personal belongings (an easel, a palette, painting and engraving equipment, a chair, a bottle, a shirt, etc.), a death mask and a finger with his hair, about 400 works by Shevchenko (among them there are 285 drawings and paintings, two albums with 50 watercolors, 38 engravings), 200 examples of Shevchenko's iconography, a collection of publications of his works and publications about him (248 items). In 1907, the museum received the poet's autographs from the archives of the "Third Department", among them the manuscript collection - "Three Lita" ("Three Summers").
