Ukrainian Baroque masterpieces arrive in London
A new exhibition, Sacred Treasures from Kyiv, will open in the United Kingdom, featuring seven Baroque-era sacred objects from the collection of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra National Reserve.
The exhibition "Sacred Treasures from Kyiv" will open in London at the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) on September 14, 2027, showcasing seven Baroque-era sacred objects from the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra National Reserve in Ukraine. The objects, including an icon, an altar Gospel in a silver cover, a Eucharistic diskos, and a gilded silver chalice, highlight the craftsmanship of 18th-century Kyiv goldsmiths and the spiritual culture of the Lavra.
The exhibition, which will run through September 17, 2027, will be free to attend and is curated by Yevheniia Ravtsova, Alice Minter, and Alexandra Watson Jones. This event marks a significant collaboration between Ukraine’s cultural heritage and the V&A, taking place in the year of the 975th anniversary of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra and the 100th anniversary of the National Reserve.
