The Sisters of St. Basil the Great are hosting an exhibition of Ukrainian Children’s Stories and Ethnographic Dioramas on their campus in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania.
This exhibition is the first time that all the works of Luba and Andrij Chornodolsky are presented in one show. The 3,500 square foot auditorium is filled with the wonderment of Children’s Stories and Cultural Heritage of Ukraine.
