UKRAINIAN LETTERS (temporary) MUSEUM is the only museum of Ukrainian letters and, perhaps, the smallest museum in the world. The exposition presents 33 works of art, namely 33 letters of the Ukrainian alphabet. These are revivals and interpretations of the works of 33 prominent Ukrainian graphic artists of the XXth century. The letters were found on old book covers and other printed materials from 1917, the time of the Ukrainian National Republic, to the present day of Independent Ukraine. Also, thanks to Marchela Mozhyna (Znadibky).
In 2022 and 2023, this project was exhibited in Weimar with the support of 11m3 projektraum and Bauhaus-Universität Weimar Kreativfonds, in New York City on the exterior of The Cooper Union Foundation landmark building and at The Herb Lubalin Study Center of Design & Typography (Fall 2023) with the support of Alexander Tochilovsky. In 2024, UKRAINIAN LETTERS (temporary) MUSEUM was awarded the Certificate of Typographic Excellence by Type Directors Club.
