< h2 > day of historical and cultural monuments: where evacuated monuments are stored

< p > after evacuation, museum values ​​are transmitted to special rooms that meet a number of requirements. As the Deputy Minister of Culture Sergei Belyaev explained, such storage facilities must have a controlled temperature, alarm, as well as special conditions for storing valuable objects — products from precious metals, stones, coins and weapons.

< p > According to Galina Grigorenko, their temporary movement to other museums within Ukraine is also organized to preserve valuable objects. This happens according to the Regulation on the Museum Fund. In this case, the museum management body only informs the ICSC.

< p >The Ministry performs the coordination function — Collects information from museums in front -line regions about the need for storage of museum objects. As of April 12, almost 19,000 cubic meters are needed. m and 527 sq. m of premises, while the area available in the rear areas is only 934 square meters. m.

< p > to solve the problem of lack of space, MKSK collaborates with the State Property Fund and promotes legislative initiatives that will allow the temporary storage of collections abroad. Since today the current legislation allows the export of museum objects outside the country only to participate in exhibitions, research or restoration. That is why, with the support of the Ministry, in 2022-2024, 162 international exhibition projects were implemented.

< p >Minister of Culture Nikolai Tochitsky in the Karp & amp project;#8217; Yak on the suspension said that the government is working on the creation of dual -purpose storage facilities — To preserve both cultural heritage and human lives. Two large projects have already been approved, but their location has not been disclosed.

< p > he noted that in Ukraine there are acutely lacking such storage facilities, and this issue was discussed at the so -called cultural Ramstein, which took place in early February at the level of cultural ministers. There it was about the Ukrainian heritage, challenges and the necessary international support.

< p > In addition, the minister announced the introduction of constant negotiations with partners about support in the preservation and exhibiting of more than 520 thousand cultural heritage objects already evacuated. < p >< IMG ARIA-DESCCRIBEDBY = "Caption-TTTACHMENT-5469415" Title = "under shelling, but not forgotten: how Ukraine is saving the cultural heritage during the war photo 3" LAZY "class =" SIZE-FULL WP-IMAGE-5469415 "SRC =" https://cdn.fakty.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/2025/18/czinni-istorychni-arthfakty-1.jpg "alt =" Tsinni ostoric Artifacts "Width =" 1600 "Height =" 1066 "srcset =" https://cdn.fakty.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/18/czinni-storychni-arth-1.jpg 1600w, https://cdn.fakty.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/18/czinni-istorychni-arthfakty-1-300x200.jpg 300W, https://cdn.fakty.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/18/czinni-istorychni-arthfakty-1-648x432.jpg 648W, https://cdn.fakty.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/18/czinni-istorychni-arthfakty-1-768x512.jpg 768W, https://cdn.fakty.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/18/czinni-istorychni-arthfakty-1-1536x1023.jpg 1536W "SIZES =" (MAX-WIDTH: 1600PX) 100VW, 100VW, 100VW, 100VW, 100VW, 100VW, 100VW, 100VW 1600px " />< p ID = "Caption-Tatachment-5469415" Class = "Wp-Capation-Text" > photo: mincullet

< h2 > front -line territories: the current situation in the Kharkovshchina, Sumshchina

< p > Ukraine has already evacuated more than 500 thousand cultural artifacts from frontline territories, but needs European assistance for further evacuation abroad. This was told by Tochitsky in an interview with Ukrinform, noting that the Polish chairmanship in the EU proposed a clear plan of action to protect the cultural heritage.

~ 60 > head of the board of the Coalition of Culture Workers and co -founder Dofa.fund in a column for UE noted that in the Zaporizhzhya, Sumy and Kharkov regions, where, according to President Vladimir Zelensky, a new offensive of the Russian Federation is possible, more than a million museum exhibits from the state are still stored from the state Foundation.

< p >In total, more than 3 million are stored in the nine of the most vulnerable areas. She also clarified that since 2014, Ukraine has already lost 2 million museum objects.

< h2 > crisis of cultural heritage

< p > 18 April on the day of historical and culture monuments should be recalled of real estate monuments of Ukraine.

< p > in the analytical note developed as part of the Res-Pol project, experts talk about a deep crisis in the field of real estate heritage in Ukraine. Most historical buildings and monuments are not integrated into modern life, do not benefit communities and are destroyed over time. Often they are perceived as a burden, and not as a resource.

< p > main problem — The legacy is mostly simply trying to save, but they do not develop and do not use.

< p >The culture law aims to protect and preserve cultural heritage. But such a policy is often reduced to restricting access to values ​​and their seizure from public space. This contradicts citizens' right to free access to cultural benefits, which is also enshrined in the same law. Because of this, the legacy is perceived as something frozen, which is only stored, but does not live.

< p > However, as the note says, the legacy is part of everyday life. If people do not understand its values ​​and do not have clear rules of handling him, this can lead to decline.

< blockquote >< p > — The Basic Law on the Protection of Cultural Heritage, adopted in 2000, reflects the non -working paradigm of the system of protection and maintaining heritage. There is an urgent need to carefully revise the approaches to maintaining the heritage: new economic levers, a whip and gingerbread, other measures, — experts of the working group on the development of the Town Planning Code of Ukraine, led by Anna Bondar. < p > The note provides an example of Europe where other approach is used: there is a legacy — This is a resource for development, tourism and local business. He is skillfully integrated into urban planning, which gives the result — jobs are created, the economy is growing.

< p > it is noted that a good example of a cultural heritage can help the development of territories and communities is a Tustan reserve in Lvivshchina. It not only retains the monument, but also contributes to the development of the village of Urich.

< p > thanks to him, jobs appeared here — About 50 local residents work in the reserve, which for a small village is a lot. A local business associated with tourism is actively developing nearby.
