About the museum
The team at the National Museum of the Holodomor Genocide sees its mission as serving to consolidate Ukrainian society around a shared memory of the traumatic experiences of the past.
We strive to transform the Museum into a leading modern, human-centred institution for researching and conveying the history of the Holodomor genocide, one that is responsive to the current needs of society and focused on human rights issues, preventing the recurrence of crimes against humanity, and disseminating accurate historical information to counter aggressive rashist ideology.
The strategic goals of the Museum Team are:
- Documenting and researching the traumatic experience of the Holodomor genocide. The Museum intends to create an academic platform for discussing historical events in relation to contemporary social experiences. The Museum builds an archive of memory through oral history practices and historical studies, compiling and preserving its own collections.
- Disseminating accurate, science-based information on the Holodomor genocide by creating a permanent multimedia display, exhibitions, educational practices, and developing popular science content for dissemination via various communication channels both in Ukraine and abroad.
- Preserving the memory of the Holodomor genocide tragedy by creating a symbolic memorial space around the Hall of Memory using effective commemorative practices. It includes extensive collaboration with local communities in Ukraine and the initiation of international partnerships.
The Museum Team operates based on values such as critical thinking and responsibility, dignity and respect for fundamental human rights, cooperation and solidarity, openness and equality.
The National Museum of the Holodomor Genocide is a state-run scientific research, cultural, educational, and scientific-methodological institution. The museum is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine.
