Musée Ukraina Museum

Beyond The Vision

Musée Ukraina Museum is presently building a museum facility to house and showcase its collection, library and archives. It will be a permanent facility to preserve the cultural contributions of the Ukrainian Catholic community in Saskatchewan, Canada and Ukraine. With an estimated capital budget of 2.8 million this building project requires the participation of all to ensure its success and to protect what has been preserved. The 12,000 sq. ft. building will allow for larger, more imposing exhibitions and educational programs. It will provide fitting space to display the more than 20,000 treasures from the Museum's collections.

With the recent commitment of $534,625 to the capital campaign from the Government of Saskatchewan and $350,000 from the Dr. Stephen & Michelene Worobetz Foundation, and through the dedication and commitment of many leaders and generous people, to date we have achieved approximately $1.3 million dollars in donations and pledges. Property has been purchased, rezoned and tested on 222 Avenue M South in Saskatoon. Preliminary architectural drawings have been drawn and initial gallery concepts have been proposed. To ensure the future sustainability of the museum an endowment has been established which upon its growth will lead to unique opportunities for programming and community outreach.

As we continue to grow the vision of MUM which embraces the proud traditions of the Ukrainian people it is important that we do it together. What has been entrusted to all of us is to be understood and protected and can only be achieved if we work together.
