The Pysanka Museum, also known as the Museum of Easter Egg Painting, is a world-renowned and the only museum in the world dedicated to this type of traditional art. It is located in the city of Kolomyia, in the Ivano-Frankivsk region. Before the museum was established, the works were housed in the Church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, an architectural monument from the 16th century.
The pysanka (ukrainian Easter egg), which is the central object in the painting, was constructed in 2000 and stands 13.5 meters tall with a diameter of 10 meters. It serves both as an exhibition hall and as a prominent landmark of Kolomyia. The collection here features over 12,000 pysanky from more than 30 countries around the world.
