In Lviv, all necessary permits have been obtained for the restoration of the Shukhevych Museum, and construction work will begin next week. This was reported by city-adm.lviv.ua. The State Inspection of Architecture and Urban Planning of Ukraine granted permission on March 4 to carry out work on the historical monument of local significance. The restoration project, after being reviewed by the advisory council at the Department of Architecture of LOVA, was adjusted and approved. Yevhen Boyko, the executive director of the Lviv City Council, reported this.
The visualization of the restored Roman Shukhevych Museum in Bilohorshcha includes the reconstruction of the second floor according to historical drawings, the restoration of the hideout, and the cleaning of the facade from later layers. The first floor will remain open, and a new building with a training hall and shelter will appear nearby. The museum’s area will increase by 50% due to extensions. The project cost was reduced by 8 million hryvnias.
The investor agreed to build the house “turnkey” and put it into operation. The Lviv Historical Museum, together with experts, will develop the exhibition concept. Bohdan Tykholoz, head of the project’s Supervisory Board, noted that a compromise on the exterior appearance has been reached, and now the task is to create a modern interior space.
Roman Chmelyk, director of the Lviv Historical Museum, confirmed the institution’s readiness to take on the formation of the exhibition. Architectural solutions will be coordinated with the future exhibition concept. Thanks to the extension, the area of the exhibition halls will almost double. Interactive exhibitions are planned for various audiences—from schoolchildren to researchers.
