Ukrainian Museums and Cultural Heritage again threatened destruction through the war. As she reported 11 April at a briefing at the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy Deputy Minister Galina Grigorenko, The state does not actually have sufficient opportunities for evacuation and safe storage of state museum fund objects.
According to Grigorenko, To ensure the preservation of displaced cultural values is necessary close 19 thousand cubic meters specialized repositories. Instead at the disposal of the ministry is only 500 cubic meters relevant areas - this is only enough for a proportion of collections.
Particularly critical is the situation in frontlines, Where is it today close 6 millions of moving cultural heritage objects. It's not just about exhibits, but also about documents, Archives, artworks, who have exceptional historical and cultural value.
“We risk losing not only museum collections every day, but also part of national identity. Evacuation is the only way to keep these assets for next generations, But the state does not have resources yet ”, - said Deputy Minister.
The ministry emphasizes: The question of creating new repositories, mobile storage systems and attracting partnership structures stand on the agenda. However, without additional funding, international support and coordinated actions to solve the problem in the near future.
