The O.K. Antonov State Aviation Museum is restoring its exhibition space after damage

This year, during one of the Russian attacks on Kyiv, the exhibition areas of the State Aviation Museum were damaged. Several windows were broken and the glass mounting system was deformed in the building, which houses a collection of aircraft models, preserved engines, and rescue equipment.

The absence of windows could have a negative long-term impact on the condition of the building and create risks for the preservation of museum exhibits due to increased humidity.

But today we have good news — the museum is being restored after the damage! Repair work is continuing as part of the grant program “Culture Unites: Museums of Japan – Museums of Ukraine”, implemented by ICOM Ukraine with financial support from ICOM Japan and the Japan Museum Association.

We sincerely thank our colleagues and partners for their support and commitment to preserving Ukraine's scientific and technical heritage!
