This website tells about phase II of the National Holodomor-Genocide Museum construction project

On 13-14 September 2021, the National Holodomor-Genocide Museum in Kyiv, with the support of the Holodomor Museum International Fund, hosted a working meeting of the international workgroup to create the Holodomor Museum main exhibition. The purpose of the meeting was to achieve a shared vision of artistic and script solutions for the Museum exhibition.

It was attended by the National Holodomor-Genocide Museum staff, Holodomor Museum Fund, members of the Museum’s Content Group, heads of working subgroups, representatives of Nizio Design International and Haley Sharpe Design, which are working on the Introductory Artistic Concept of the main exhibition as an international design consortium.

The meeting participants discussed previous artistic solution of the exhibition (colouristics, typographics), narratives and the source base provided by the Content Group to the designers to produce the Introductory Artistic Concept of the exhibition, and updated further schedule of the exhibition design.

As an agenda item, the meeting participants visited the National Museum of Folk Architecture and Everyday Life of Ukraine (in the village of Pyrohiv on the outskirts of Kyiv) and saw the updated exhibition of the Hall of Remembrance of the National Holodomor-Genocide Museum, which opened on 7 September 2021.
