The Khanenko Museum has been awarded the prestigious The Best in Heritage — Project of Influence 2025, presented during the 24th annual conference in Barcelona. This year's event gathered over 150 specialists and 40 laureates of prestigious international awards in the field of cultural heritage.
The award was accepted by the museum's director, Yulia Vaganova, on behalf of the entire team. Each year, only two projects are selected for recognition within the Project of Influence and IMAGINES programs.
The Khanenko Museum was nominated as the winner of the CIMAM Outstanding Museum Practice Award 2024. The jury noted that this project, born from the «pure resilience of those facing the realities of war», transformed empty museum halls into a space of community, creativity, and solidarity, becoming a symbol of resilience and inspiration for the future.
The team highlighted that this award represents a recognition of the power of culture and trust in Ukrainian institutions worldwide, which remain centers of life, meaning, and hope even during wartime.
