Ukrainian culture has a rich history of music, dance, and literature. Music spans many genres from traditional folk to classical and modern rock, incorporating elements from Ukrainian folk traditions. Dances also show influences from polka to ballet. Literature dates back to the 11th century, though it declined after the Mongol invasion; it regained prominence in the 14th century. A significant art form is the decorated Easter egg, called Pysanky, whose wax-resist dyeing technique to create colorful patterns is thousands of years old and predates Christianity in Ukraine.

Around the 9th century, musicians discovered that singing additional parts below the chant created polyphony. Secular music also began to develop in the 11th century with traveling poet singers in France called troubadours and trouveres who sang of love and knights and accompanied themselves on instruments.
