Nineteen works from the Stedley Art Foundation collection are showcased alongside pieces from the collections of the National Art Museum of Ukraine, the National Museum of Ukrainian Folk Decorative Art, the Odessa National Art Museum, the Kröller-Müller Museum, the Fundatie Museum, and others.
The National Museum of Ukrainian Folk Decorative Art presents works from the museum collection by outstanding Ukrainian artists at the exhibition.
