28. ORTHODOX ART
Creating a collection of Orthodox Art in Łańcut was
caused by the necessity of preserving priceless
elements of culture. They were prone to
destruction because of the displacing of the
Ukrainian people from the south – eastern part
Poland in 1945 and 1947. Many years of
conscious destruction of historic monuments
of sacral art led to ruin of about 330 out of 650
orthodox churches which existed in this part
of historical diocese of Przemyśl.
Objects from the orthodox churches which were
left unattended were systematically brought to the
Museum in Łańcut. At present it is the largest
collection of the Ukrainian Orthodox Art in Poland.
