This year's theme of International Museum Day is the Power of Museums.

Museum’s strength lies in values, unity, and mutual assistance. And in incredible people who every day, in different parts of Ukraine and the world, make efforts to preserve cultural heritage. It is no coincidence that ruscists keep Ukrainian museums under fire. The occupiers are constantly trying to destroy our historical memory, cultural integrity, and national identity.

More than one and a half thousand organizations and citizens of different countries call on the international community to stop the genocide of Ukrainians. The Maidan Museum also signed an appeal calling for decisive measures to stop the extermination of Ukrainians and bring those responsible for the crimes to justice.
