The inscription on an inner waistband proved to be an order number, not a maker's signature.

A tailor's mark that took time to read

Two pieces are never hung — they lie flat, in storage and in the exhibition alike.

How to store cloth that is shedding

One exhibit is shown open — not because of damage, but because of the mannequin's size.

Three movements are shown open — so that they can be heard running.

One movement in the collection is never wound — and the collector explains why.

The watch stopped on purpose

Polissia and Podillia — Two Poles of Ukrainian Costume

The current exhibition places in dialogue two of the most distinctive regional traditions of Ukrainian attire. The Polissia costume is restrained, archaic: linen shirts with geometric red-and-black hem ornament and cross-stitch embroidery, hand-woven wool litnyk skirts, leather postoly. The Podillia costume is festive, vibrant: fine linen shirts with dense colour satin-stitch embroidery on collars and sleeves, plakhtas with urban woven patterns, velvet kersetkas, lacework aprons. The exposition documents the everyday and festive systems of each region separately — from workday to wedding ritual.

19th-Century Ukrainian Folk Costume of the Poltava Region

The current exposition presents the full cycle of Poltava folk attire from the mid-19th century: women's vyshyvankas with characteristic Poltava plant embroidery in satin stitch, plakhtas woven with knot technique, kersetkas in red and blue broadcloth, ochipoks with elaborate lacework. A separate hall displays men's attire: embroidered chumak shirts, sharovary, kobeniaks, leather postoly. The exposition is supplemented by ethnographic photographs from the 1880s-1910s and a reconstruction of a peasant weaving loom.
